Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Wash quinoa in several changes of water in a bowl, rubbing grains and letting them settle before pouring off water (if quinoa does not settle, drain in a large fine-mesh sieve after each rinse), until water is clear.
  2. Drain washed quinoa well in a large fine-mesh sieve.
  3. Combine all ingredients in a heavy medium saucepan and bring to a boil, covered. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender, about 20 minutes.
  4. Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and keep covered to keep warm. Remove cinnamon sticks.
  5. Divide quinoa among bowls and top with walnuts, maple syrup or honey, milk, and sea salt.
  6. Cooks' notes: The quinoa will stay warm, covered but off the heat, for 15 to 20 minutes. Even if a package says that the quinoa is prewashed, washing it is still recommended. The cinnamon sticks can be washed off, dried, and reused. (I leave mine out in a small bowl near the oven so they can really dry out.)
