Quinoa Pudding

Secrets are fun, aren't they?  Well this month in the Secret Recipe Club, I was given the opportunity to make something from Gloria from Canela Kitchen.

I chose the quinoa pudding because I love quinoa and this sounded different than what I usually make. It certainly was different and absolutely delicious!!  Strangely addicting as well. It called for mushrooms but that is something we don't eat so I didn't add them. The sweetness from the raisins paired with the curry is wonderful!

 
I loved how quickly it came together. I made the quinoa ahead of time and the filling came together in a snap. When I make it again, I do think that I will increase the filling a bit, otherwise it was perfect!

Quinoa Pudding Recipe
Adapted from Canela Kitchen

Ingredients (4 servings)



2 cups of cooked quinoa
1 egg
salt and pepper
1/2 cup of cream
1/2 teaspoon of curry powder


Filling:
1 tablespoon of oil
1/2 cup onion chopped
1 medium zucchini in cubes (with the peel)
1 cups of mushrooms in slices (I didn't use)
1/3 cup of golden raisins
3 tbsp. shredded parmesan cheese (I used gruyere)

In a saucepan, cook quinoa according to directions.  You'll need about 3/4 cup raw quinoa to get 2 cups of cooked, you'll have a bit extra.  Set aside and let cool.

In a bowl place the cooled cooked quinoa, egg, cream and curry powder.


Season with salt and pepper.


Stir well until the mix look like a thick cream.


Prepare the filling.


Preheat the oven 375.

In a pan heat the oil to medium heat, add the chopped onion first and then mushrooms (if using) and zucchini chopped.
saute until the veggies are softened. Add a couple of tablespoons of water and the raisins and season with salt and pepper.


Pour the filling into 4 small ramekins. Cover with the quinoa cream, I had just a bit of quinoa cream leftover.   


Bake at oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until is cooked and set.
