Directions
Quinoa and Barley Breakfast Porridge,Here is a yummy alternative to oatmeal in the morning. Very healthy whole grains, too. “Super foods” some people call them. Takes a little while to make it, but very yummy. Add your own spices, sweeteners and dried fruit, to your taste. This recipe can be easily halved if you use a small saucepan. Supposedly you can cook in a small crockpot overnight, but I’ve personally only ever tried this on the stovetop.,Like so many home cooks I had quinoa & barley in my pantry but was at a loss as to how to better incorporate these grains into daily use. With this recipe I have achieved this. In a pan I gently heated butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, fresh squeezed orange juice, raisins, nutmeg, pecans, and a grated apple until it lightly browned. I added this to my Q&B…I can’t express how uttely delicious it was. Amazing!,Well, I tried this to mix up my daily oatmeal, but I think I prefer the taste of oatmeal. I cooked it in the crock pot and it did absorb all the water but I think it could have done with less. It might have had more texture. If I make it again I’d probably try 3 cups of water instead of 4 since water doesn’t escape from a crock pot like cooking over a stove top. I grated in an apple, salt, cinnamon and splenda. One thing that it has over oatmeal is that I found it to be more filling. That’s why I give it 4 stars instead of 3.
