Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Quinoa
Place 1 cup of quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 2 minutes. This helps remove the bitter coating (saponin) from the quinoa.

Prepare the Coconut Milk Mixture
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of coconut milk, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and the rinsed quinoa. Stir to combine.
Cooking

Cook the Quinoa
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and has absorbed the coconut milk.

Let it Sit
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. This allows the quinoa to become fluffy.

Prepare the Toppings
While the quinoa is resting, wash and slice the fresh strawberries. If desired, you can also mix in the fresh blueberries.
