Quinoa pudding (quinoa con leche)

Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa
• 4 cups whole milk
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Ground cinnamon, to decorate

Step-by-step preparation

1. Rinse the quinoa under the tap and drain.
2. In a large saucepan, combine the quinoa, milk and cinnamon stick.
3. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly so the quinoa doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
4. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20–25 minutes, until the quinoa is tender and the mixture has thickened.
5. Add the sugar and vanilla extract and stir well.
6. Remove the cinnamon stick and let the quinoa pudding cool to room temperature.
7. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until well chilled.
8. Before serving, dust the quinoa pudding with a little ground cinnamon.
