Hot Oat & Quinoa Cereal

昨晚把这个一起使用一些建议s to simmer for a few minutes. Turned off the heat and it was perfect this morning, not watery. I will definitely make this again and again.

2 changes; I halved the salt and did not soak overnight. In fact; i 'prepackage' the dry ingredients and then throw into a pot with hot water and simmer for 20 min. While it is a little runny at end of cooking, it thickens with a little cooling. The result is a little more crunchy than with an overnight soak. We love it and everyone we have given it to like it too

Prepared it according to the recipe, soupy and salty. Will not make again.

Like some of the other reviewers, I found it a little too runny for my liking. I prefer my oatmeal to hold my spoon up. For the dried fruit I used blueberries, and since I don't like raisins, I subbed chopped, dried, Turkish figs. I also used sliced almonds instead of walnuts and left off the papitas. I couldn't find steel cut oats, so made do with rolled oats (not quick). Since rolled oats require less water than steel, I only added 3 1/2 cups water. Next time, I'll add less. My quinoa was a little crunchy - I've never made quinoa before, though, so I'm not sure if it's supposed to still have a little crunch. I don't have any ground cardamom, so I tossed in a pod. It was barely noticable, so next time I'll add two pods. All in all, I enjoyed this dish, and will make it again with a few changes.

I'm like several other reviewers who wanted to like this recipe more than they did. I made this to have for a grab and go breakfast this week. Today (which happened to be the last morning, go figure!) I mixed yogurt in instead of milk (along with brown sugar and pepitas) and I found it much more palatable than I did any of the other times. I love the idea of this recipe and since it's so filling and easy I really wish it had worked better for me. I don't know if it was the quinoa (which I normally like and often eat for breakfast) or the combination of the dried fruits I used and the spices, but this just isn't my kind of meal.

After reading the reviews for this recipe, I chose to use less water during the cooking process. I followed the recipe instructions for preparing the cereal on the same day. I added dried cranberries, dates, raisins and substituted the maple syrup with a touch of honey. I had to stop myself from eating two servings! Had i not added the honey, i would have topped the porridge with some fresh fruit which is something i'll try next time. I'll definitely be making this again.

我准备了这一夜的方法和苏bstituted the pepitas and walnuts with toasted slivered almonds. The final result had a good balance of flavors and textures but that doesn't fit my tastes very well. The grains where soft and wet and I like the crunchy so, next time, I will reduce liquid and not do it overnight; the spices really hide the subtle flavors of the grains, would definitely go easier with the cardamon; I really do like quinoa and oats so I don't need so much fruit to feel I'm eating a desert, would go easy with them as well. In the end I'm not sure how much of the original recipe would be left, but I think that the combination of oats and quinoa is a great inspiration.

Let sit overnight? Cooked grains require time and temperature control for safety. Cooked grains should be cooled in a refrigerator for safety.

This was a boring, bland and wet mess. Maybe dried apricots just don't work, but it was bland, soupy, and unappetizing. I tried adding more seasoning, but there is only so much doctoring you can do before calling it a learned lesson. I like all these ingredients, but this was the wrong vehicle for me.

Followed this recipe only reducing salt. I love the ease of letting it sit overnight. Yes, it is a little runny, but a a healthy alternative to all the other boring oatmeals, etc. Love something different!

I love mixed grains for breakfast, and I usually love Bon Appetit recipes so I was surprised this is such a mess. I used 3/4 t of salt and less cardamom than called for and felt both spices were still too much. The dried fruit was basically reconstituted with salty cardamom water and gross. Want to make it better? Use just a pinch of salt and a little cinnamon while its cooking, maybe some milk or almond milk in place of some of the water, and add your fruit/milk/sweetener when it's done.

i really want to like this recipe. i like quinoa. i really like oats. dried fruit. low fat. make it the night before, reheat in microwave, etc. these are all great things. i used dried apricots, dried cranberries, and sliced almonds. took a spoonful. hmmm..ok, not great. i added a scant teaspoon of brown sugar. that was much better. i will make it again because it's so healthy. i'm going to add some crystallized ginger to add a zing.

Followed the over-night recipe - easy-peasy. For me, I agree w/ other reviewers - the 1/4 tsp cardamom was overwhelming, even though I generally like it and doubled the cinnamon. Will stick w/ cinnamon alone in future. Also, the cereal was a bit soupy for my taste, so next time I'll adjust cereal-to-water ratio. Doesn't need any additional sweetener - dried fruit takes care of that. Nice recipe!

Loved it! Followed the recipe except for: (1) ditched the raisins (don't like 'em) and (2) mistakenly doubled the cardamom. Reheats beautifully through out the week. Great mouth feel. And quinoa amps the protein. Mmmm!

I made the recipe exactly as written. I must say I prefer oats alone and quinoa for breakfast does not appeal to me. I've tried acquiring a taste for it as a sweet breakfast food and it isn't sticking. Also, I guess I don't like cooked and plumped goji berries or raisins either! I did not add maple syrup because it was very sweet to me already. I have three servings left and will eat this for the next three days however, because it is nutritious food that will not go to waste.
