Hot Cereal with Quinoa, Oats and Flax

Serves 2

1/2 cup quinoa, well rinsed
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon ground flax
2 tablespoons chopped dates
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped pecans

Place the quinoa in a small saucepan with 1½ cups of water. Bring to a boil and cover. Cook 10 to 15 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the center of each quinoa seed is almost translucent. Stir in the oats, flax, dates, ginger, cloves and salt. Cook 5 to 10 minutes more, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the oats are cooked through. Stir in the brown sugar and nuts, serve immediately.
