Ingredients
- 1 pink grapefruit
- ¼ cup 43g uncooked quinoa
- ½ cup water
- Pinch of kosher salt
- ~1 tablespoon honey plus some for drizzling
- 5 g roasted sunflower seed kernels
Instructions
- Peel the grapefruit, separate the sections and chop, removing any seeds.1 pink grapefruit
- Put the quinoa, water, salt and grapefruit in a small pot with about a tablespoon of honey.1 pink grapefruit, ¼ cup 43g uncooked quinoa, ½ cup water, Pinch of kosher salt
- Bring to a boil and continue to boil for 1-2 minutes while stirring. This helps draw out some of the extra liquid you’re going to have from the grapefruit.
- Lower to a simmer and cover. Continue to cook for 15 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- There still was a bit too much moisture, so after the 15 minutes I raised the temperature to medium and brought it back up to a boil until it reached more of a porridge or oatmeal consistency.
- Pour it into a bowl, drizzle it with a little honey and top with sunflower seeds for a fun, salty crunch.~1 tablespoon honey plus some for drizzling, 5 g roasted sunflower seed kernels
- I loved how the grapefruit incorporated itself into the quinoa. It really made for a fun texture!
