Hi!

Can someone please explain how oh how do I make this as a porridge? just one serve........I failed making it yesterday :(

Im using Chefs Choice - certified 3mix organixc quinoa (alternative to organic gluten free couscous) and I cooked wayyyy too much yesterday and well, it wasnt really cooked at all so I had to garbage it- infact tasted nothing like what I buy from the cafe... I tried 1/2 of quinoa, 1cup milk , brought to boil then simmer for 15mins... it didnt look quite right but I was unsure ...until i tasted it then i knew it was far from how its meant to taste... luckily it wasnt my first quinoa experience, just cooking it ....

So, I wanna get this right and with your help I may just !!! :)

Just need a basic, easy to follow recipe for the quinoa,

Cheers .

    I cook it as a 1 to 2 ratio, 1 cup quiona to 2 cups of water, simmer untill all the water is absorbed. I've never cooked it with milk, maybe you could try to add the milk after its cooked.

    Thank you so much!

    I prefer my oats with water than milk so hoping I can do water with quinoa too...youve just given me hope! :-)

    yes heres my fav brekky: quinoa .... honey ......raspeberries blueberries with some muesli crunch always goes a treat, its my fav !!!

    pitty i suck at following the very basic instructions on the box ..... i do however want a porridge texture as opposed to more ''couscous'' as the packet says..keep the tips coming, plse !! as i did the 1:2 ratio, brought it boil then let simmer for 15mins... it reminded me of the time i didnt cook my lentils long enough....very off putting ! I dont want to keep waisting it in my poor attempts to make porridge quinoa !!!!!
