Instructions

1
Rinse the quinoa in a strainer under running water for at least a minute to remove the bitterness (saponins).
2
Pour the rinsed quinoa into a saucepan, add almond milk and water. Add grated ginger, lemon zest, cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
3
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to minimum and cook covered for 15–20 minutes, or until the quinoa absorbs most of the liquid and becomes creamy. Stir occasionally.
4
While the quinoa is cooking, heat the sliced plums with lemon juice in a pan over medium heat. Cook for 5–8 minutes until the fruit softens and releases its juices.
5
Remove the plums from the heat, stir in the vanilla and chia seeds. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken the topping.
6
Remove the cooked quinoa from the heat, stir in the maple syrup and add a spoonful more of milk if needed for extra creaminess.
7
Divide the pudding into two bowls and top with the plum topping. Serve warm or cold.
