Quinoa Meal





2/3     cup quinoa (washed and drained)
pinch of sea salt
1 1/3  cups water
1        tablespoon tapioca starch, also
          called cassava starch (optional)
2/3     cup coconut milk
1/2     cup dried mulberries
1        tablespoon date syrup or honey
          (optional)
1        tablespoon coconut flakes 
          (optional)




  • Boil water in a small sauce pan.  Add quinoa and sea salt and cover. Reduce heat and cook for about 15 minutes. 

  • Meanwhile, mix tapioca starch with coconut milk and let it stand for 10 minutes. Pulse mulberries in the food processor until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

  • Drain quinoa if any water is left.

  • Mix coconut milk mixture with quinoa and let it simmer for 2 minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens.

  • Layer mulberries in a dish and then pour the quinoa meal on top of the mulberries.  

  • Optional: add coconut flakes on top and drizzle syrup or honey with the help of a fork.

TIP: you can substitute mulberries with freeze dried blueberries or strawberries.
