Instructions

Cook the quinoa
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer under running water. Place it in a small saucepan, add the water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
Finish cooking in milk
Grate half the apple. Add the milk, grated apple, cinnamon and salt to the quinoa. Simmer uncovered over low heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the porridge thickens and the quinoa is tender.
Toast the walnuts
Coarsely chop the walnuts and toast them in a dry skillet for 2 minutes. Cut the remaining half of the apple into small cubes.
Serve
Remove the porridge from the heat and stir in the honey once it stops bubbling. Divide among bowls and top with the diced apple, walnuts and a pinch of cinnamon.
Tip: You can cook the quinoa in water the night before and refrigerate it, then finish cooking it in milk with apple and cinnamon in the morning.
