Gluten free breakfast
« on: February 24, 2010, 01:26:33 am »
I don't think much of packaged processed breakfast cereal and I wonder if many people have tried quinoa and brown rice for breakfast?
I soak a cup of quinoa overnight - sometimes I add chia seeds separately - 1 Tablespoon - and I add a squeeze of lemon or whey to help the overnight fermentation. The quinoa steams beautifully in the steamer basket for about 15 - 20 minutes. I use leftover brown rice - equal amount - add a grated apple - and this morning I added the TM plum sauce I made yesterday ( more like sauce than jam) and the TM coconut yoghurt and a drizzle of maple syrup and some lecithen granules( great for the liver) and it was divine! Any other fresh fruit would be nice on top as well.
Also, did you realize that the steamer or the basket can be used very well for reheating - more healthy than the microwave and quite quick. If you have liquids or very small granules that could escape from the basket, just use baking paper like a bowl in the basket or Veroma dish.

Thanks Toni, great ideas indeed.  Good to have you helping.

I haven't used the TM basket for reheating, but would definitely be good for small amounts.

Have used bake paper in the basket to stop quinoa falling through though and it is worth it.

The TM plum sauce and TM coconut yoghurt I presume are from the new My Way of Cooking book?  The coconut yoghurt has been published by Gralke here: http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2340.0
