Forget white rice this healthy take on rice pudding is made with nutrient-dense quinoa.
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups coconut milk
- ⅔ cup quinoa, rinsed
- 1 large mango, pitted, peeled, and coarsely chopped
- ⅓ cup superfine or granulated sugar
- 1 large lime juice
- 1½-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into chunks
- ⅔ cup blueberries
- ¼ cup toasted dry coconut shavings
How to Make It
- Put the coconut milk and quinoa into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or according to the package directions, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and set aside for 7 minutes to let the grains swell. Fluff up with a fork, transfer to a bowl, and let cool.
- Meanwhile, put the mango, sugar, and lime juice into a food processor. Squeeze the ginger through a garlic press and add the juice to the food processor. Process for 30 seconds, or until you have a smooth puree.
- Mix the mango puree into the cooled quinoa, then cover and let stand for 30 minutes.
- Spoon the mixture into four bowls and sprinkle with the blueberries and coconut shavings. Serve immediately.
