Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups water
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 3 star anise
  • a big strip of orange peel
  • 1 cup quinoa - rinsed thoroughly
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk - regular or lite
  • 1 cup non-dairy or dairy milk - I use coconut non-dairy milk
  • ½ cup raw or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup cooking spice-infused cooking liquid
  • ¾ cup passionfruit purée
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • diced mango and mint chiffonade - for garnish

Instructions

  • Infuse the quinoa with the spices and orange peel - Add water, well-rinsed quinoa, and spices to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover, and simmer 10 minutes. Remove 1/4 cup liquid and reserve before draining and removing spices.
  • Prepare cooking liquid - combine the coconut milk, nut milk (or dairy milk), reserved spice infused water, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a bowl. Whisk thoroughly.
  • Combine the quinoa with coconut milk mixture - Add the drained quinoa and the coconut milk mixture to the saucepan (you can use the same one!).
  • Cook the quinoa - Bring up to a boil, then immediately reduce heat. Cover and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed (stirring occasionally) and the mixture is thickened (about 15-20 minutes). The quinoa should be very tender! Serve room temperature or chilled.
  • Finish - To serve, spoon the quinoa pudding into serving dish, top with passionfruit pudding (previous section), garnish with fresh mango, and chiffonade of fresh mint.

Notes

Note: Rinse the quinoa. Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer. Rinse thoroughly under cool, running water. Rub and swish the quinoa with your hand while rinsing. Drain.
