Merchant Gourmet Simply Cooked Red & White Quinoa
Ingredients
- Quarter of a 250g pouch Merchant Gourmet Simply Cooked Red & White Quinoa
- 100ml berry smoothie (I used strawberry and banana, blackcurrant is also beautiful) plus 2 tbsp to pour over the top
- 2 tbsp dried cranberries, plus a few extra for the top
- 30g raspberries, to serve
- 1 tsp chia seeds, (optional) to serve
- 1/2 tablespoon pistachios, (optional) to serve
Preparation
Combine the quinoa, smoothie and 2 tbsp dried cranberries in a microwave-proof serving bowl
Stir them together well
Cover the bowl with a plate
In a 650-700 watt microwave, heat for 3 minutes on full heat
You may need to experiment with the timing as all microwaves are different
Leave to sit for 2 minutes, then being careful, as the quinoa porridge will be extremely hot and will have come up the sides of the bowl, take the bowl out of the microwave
Top with the fresh raspberries, 2 tbsp of smoothie, the chia seeds and chopped pistachios
