Ingredients
1 orange, halved
Any one or combination of the following: 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 whole nutmeg,
2 teaspoons whole allspice berries
2 teaspoons cardamom pods
1 cup raw quinoa
Salt
2 cups sliced fresh fruit
1 cup nuts, toasted if you like, optional
Honey, maple syrup or brown sugar, for serving, optional
Directions
Squeeze the juice from the orange into a medium saucepan and toss in the peels along with whatever spices you’re using. Add 2 cups water and 1 cup raw quinoa. Bring the mixture to a boil. Let it simmer for 15 minutes, just like rice. Fish out the orange peels and spices with a small strainer or slotted spoon. Stir the spices into the finished quinoa. Pour into bowl and put your favorite topping on it.
