Ingredients
  • 1 taza de quinua, bien lavada
  • 2½ tazas de agua
  • 2 palitos de canela
  • 3 clavos de olor
  • 4 pimientas de chapa
  • Pizca de sal
  • 1 lata de leche de coco
  • 1 lata de leche condensada
  • 2 tazas de piña picada
  • 2 cucharadas de azúcar
  • ½ cucharadita de canela en polvo
  • Coco fresco cortado en láminas finas (opcional)
Instructions
  1. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, cook quinoa with water, cinnamon stick, cloves, lemon peel, and salt, until quinoa is very soft and the water has evaporated (around 15-20 minutes since the water boils).
  2. Lower the heat. Add sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and continue cooking, stirring every now and then. It should have a creamy consistency. Turn off the heat, transfer the cooked quinoa to a container, sprinkle with powdered cinnamon, let cool, and put in the fridge -covered- until ready to serve.
  3. To cook the pineapple:
  4. In a sautée pan over high heat, melt the butter, add pineapple, cinnamon stick, and sugar. Cook for 5 minutes or until everything is juicy and looks cooked. Turn off the heat. Reserve the pineapple.
  5. To serve:
  6. In wine, champagne or martini glasses, pour a little quinoa, then a tablespoon of pineapple, and keep making layers. Finish with pineapple and garnish with squares of fresh coconut.
  7. Serve at once.
