Pair this lighter version of rice pudding with your favorite dried fruit.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup quinoa, rinsed

  • 4 cups skim milk

  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

  • 1/2 cup golden raisins

  • 1/4 cup chopped dried apricots

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, bring quinoa and 3 cups milk to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, unti tender, 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, honey, eggs, cardamom, and remaining cup of milk. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stirring constantly, slowly pour egg mixture into quinoa; add raisins and apricots.
  • Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour pudding into a 2-quart dish and let cool slightly. Cover surface directly with plastic and refrigerate until cook, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
