How to Make Wicklewood's Butterscotch Quinoa

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water and milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the toasted quinoa to the boiling liquid. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until almost all the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
  3. Stir in the sugar and butter. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens into a creamy, syrupy butterscotch sauce (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat. Serve warm or cold. For an extra touch of richness, drizzle with evaporated milk before serving.
