let's see-- "solid" breakfast quinoa. 100% vegan & a nice hot breakfast.

source: my breakfast experiments.

-----

1 cup quinoa, very well rinsed. you don't want it to be still soapy when you cook it.
1 box (4 cups/1qt./1 liter) unsweetened soy milk, rice milk, or almond milk (i prefer almond-- not sweet and no ball-shrinking estrogens)
1/2 stick (how do you measure this) of cinnamon
1 clove
orange peel, grated (fresh is best)
vanilla extract (or vanilla bean)
1/2 cup raisins or black currants
1 cup or so raw almonds

---
pour the liquid into a pan. add quinoa, cinnamon, clove, orange peel, raisins. slowly bring to a boil. turn down the fire so it very slowly boils. you don't want the thing bubbling up & spilling all over. turn with a wooden spoon every now & then so that scum doesn't form at the top.

after about 20 minutes of slow boiling, the quinoa should "pop" and instead of the hard grains you'll see the little coils open. that's good-- those coils = protein.

stir for another 5 minutes in slow heat letting it soak in the liquid.

take out from fire. add vanilla extract and toss in some almonds. if using vanilla bean i'd add the last 5 minutes.

eat.

makes a bunch of portions, depending on how much you eat. the boiled cinnamon stick is tasty to chew. experiment with different dried fruits (apricots, figs, dates, blueberries), different spices (lemon peel, cardamom), different nutmeats, cow/sheep/goat milk if you wish.
