Quinoa Millet Hot Cereal Food

HOT MILLET CEREAL

Steps:

• Toast millet in a small skillet over medium-high heat until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, bring milk to a boil; add toasted millet, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt. Reduce heat to a simmer; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until milk is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes; add 1/4 cup additional water or milk if liquid is absorbed and millet is not tender. Serve immediately with desired toppings.

BREAKFAST QUINOA

Steps:

• Bring milk to a boil in a small saucepan. Add quinoa, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, until three-quarters of the milk has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.
• Stir in sugar and cinnamon. Cook, covered, until almost all the milk has been absorbed, about 8 minutes. Stir in blueberries, and cook for 30 seconds. Serve with additional milk, sugar, cinnamon, and blueberries.

HOT OAT & QUINOA CEREAL

Steps:

• Bring 1/2 cup dried fruit (such as goji berries, cranberries, or barberries), 1/2 cup steel-cut oats, 1/2 cup well-rinsed quinoa, 1/4 cup raisins, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoons ground cardamom, and 4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cover and let sit off heat overnight. (Alternatively, bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until grains are tender, 20-25 minutes.)
• Before serving, reheat cereal in saucepan, covered, over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally and adding water if needed, until warmed through, 5-8 minutes. Serve with milk, maple syrup, toasted shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas), and toasted walnuts.
