Instant Breakfast
Prep Time : 2-5 minutes
Cooking Time : 25 minutes
Yields : 3-4 servings
Ingredients :
3 cups water 1 cup millet or quinoa
Directions :
This is my favorite morning recipe. It is quick and easy with enough protein to get me through to lunch. I get started as soon as I'm out of bed, and by the time I'm finished in the bathroom, it's ready to eat. I'll have half for breakfast and take the rest to work. Flavor it differently for each meal. Put the leftovers into a loaf pan or shallow dish to cool and cut into slices for dinner or tomorrow's lunch.
1. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil.
2. In the meantime wash 1 cup of millet or quinoa. Be sure to wash well- millet and quinoa are bitter and dusty.
3. Add to boiling water.
4. Reduce heat to a light boil and simmer 20 minutes.
5. No salt needed.
Variations :
You can flavor this and all porridges by mixing and matching any of the following ingredients:
* During cooking: squash, carrots, raisins, almonds, sesame seeds.
* After cooking: powdered ginger, gomasio, tamari, milk substitute, sweetener.
Note :
For a "minute breakfast" make extra grains at night. In the morning, boil 1/2 inch of water, add some grains and re-heat for a minute or two. Add your favorite flavorings.
