Really tasty and creamy. I noticed some of the other comments said there didn’t seem to be enough liquid when cooking the quinoa, so I simmered it with a lid on the saucepan and it was perfect! Heats up well the next day too.

This was ok, I found the taste a bit dusty, perhaps too much quinoa for me, personal taste. Next time I might do half and half with the oats and add more cardamom. Peaches were lovely with it.

So this is the second time I made it and it’s so much nicer. You need to bring it barely to the boil in the first place and simmer on the smallest ring of the oven hob at the lowest temperature it will go. And make sure the peaches are super soft and ripe. The first time I did the opposite of all…

I used my usual milk and done a tsp of mixed spice instead of cardamon. Had to add more (boiled) water halfway through to cook quinoa properly, so done less milk for the final bit. Had it with bottled pears i had to hand. Will definately make again.

Glad it wasn’t just me having that problem. Thought I’d done it wrong ha.
