How to Make

  • Step 1: To a heavy medium-size saucepan, add quinoa, apple chunks, cinnamon sticks, orange juice, and water.

  • Step 2: Cover and cook over medium heat for 30-40 minutes. Check periodically so the quinoa doesn't boil over. You may need to remove the cover after 15-20 minutes to allow all the liquids to be absorbed/reduced.

  • Step 3: When quinoa is cooked to your preference, add cranberries and oranges. Cook over low heat 2-3 minutes until heated through. Serve topped with chopped walnuts.
