Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups organic quinoa
- 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cup organic sprouts
Instructions
-
Rinse the quinoa in a strainer under cold water for 1 minute. Shake the strainer over the sink to remove excess water.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add quinoa and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often.
-
Add Almond Breeze Almond Milk and bring quinoa to a boil. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed and quinoa is 'toasted' golden brown and starts to dry out and release a 'nutty' scent. Remove from heat; set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
-
Fluff with a fork; add sea salt and pepper. Gently toss with fresh sprouts and serve.
