Instructions

  1. 1Rinse the quinoa in a strainer under running water for at least a minute to remove the bitterness (saponins).
  2. 2Pour the rinsed quinoa into a saucepan, add almond milk and water. Add grated ginger, lemon zest, cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
  3. 3Bring 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. 4While 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. 5Remove the plums from the heat, stir in the vanilla and chia seeds. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken the topping.
  6. 6Remove the cooked quinoa from the heat, stir in the maple syrup and add a spoonful more of milk if needed for extra creaminess.
  7. 7Divide the pudding into two bowls and top with the plum topping. Serve warm or cold.
