Recipe: Raisin Spice Hot Cereal With Quinoa
Description: With raisins, cinnamon, and brown sugar, this recipe is a healthy spin on an old favourite.  From Quinoa 365.
Ingredients: [{"text": "1 tablespoon almonds, silvered"}, {"text": "3 tablespoons quinoa"}, {"text": "2/3 cup water"}, {"text": "1 tablespoon raisins"}, {"text": "1/4 teaspoon cinnamon"}, {"text": "1 pinch nutmeg"}, {"text": "2 tablespoons quick-cooking oatmeal"}, {"text": "2 tablespoons brown sugar or 2 tablespoons maple syrup"}, {"text": "1/4 cup soymilk or 1/4 cup half-and-half cream"}]
Instructions: Rinse quinoa well with water to remove bitter coating; drain.
Place almonds in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir frequently until almonds are toasted and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
Combine quinoa, water, raisins, cinnamon, and nutmeg in the same saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the oats, replace cover, and cook for an additional 6 minutes.  Add the almonds and sugar.  Top with vanilla yogurt, milk, soymilk, or half and half cream, if using.  Serve immediately.
