Ingredients

• 100g quinoa *


• 400ml skimmed milk


• 1 vanilla pod *


• 50g demerara sugar


• 100g blackberries


• 1 fig, quartered


• 50g pistachios * chopped

Method

In a large saucepan, mix together the quinoa and milk, and heat gently.

Split the vanilla pod in half lengthways and scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds into the quinoa mix, plus the whole pod. Once the quinoa is simmering, cook for 15-20 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally.

Five minutes before the end, add in 1 tbsp of demerara sugar. Once the quinoa is cooked, remove the vanilla pod and spoon the porridge into bowls.

Top with the fig, blackberries, chopped pistachios and sprinkle over the remaining demerara sugar.
