Most people know
quinoa
for hearty dishes, for example as a salad or as a side dish
instead of rice

But quinoa - the so-called Inca grain, which comes from the Andes - can also be made into a
sweet porridge

.
The taste is mild and has a nutty note.
For a delicious porridge, simply simmer
50 grams of roasted quinoa
for 10 minutes while stirring in
150 milliliters of milk
or a plant-based alternative.

Pieces of apple, berries or desiccated coconut are ideal as toppings.

or
buckwheat flakes
for your porridge.

have to soak
buckwheat
overnight
: add
50 grams of buckwheat
to water and a pinch of salt.
