How to Make Quinoa With Stewed Cinnamon Pear
- Rinse 1 cup of quinoa thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a small saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, 1 1/2 cups of water, and 1/2 cup of milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
- While the quinoa cooks, prepare the stewed pears: In a separate small saucepan, combine the diced pear, 1/4 cup of water, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Bring the pear mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until the pear is tender.
- Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork. Divide the quinoa among bowls.
- Top each serving with the stewed pear mixture and sprinkle with a little extra ground cinnamon, if desired.
