Carlo Cocina: Quínoa con huesillos

Start by washing the quinoa to remove its bitter taste. Place the quinoa in a large bowl and cover it with plenty of water.

Rub the quinoa gently to release the starches, which can make it taste bitter. The water will turn cloudy as the starch is released.

Drain the cloudy water and rinse the quinoa again until the water runs clear.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the rinsed quinoa to it.

Add a splash of vanilla to the boiling water for a neutral flavor, as the sweetness will come from the huesillos.

Prepare the huesillos by washing them and placing them in a pot with their juice.

Add vanilla and honey to the pot with huesillos to sweeten them.

Mix well to dissolve the honey completely with the huesillos.

Cook the huesillos for about 10 minutes to hydrate them.

Once cooked, combine the white quinoa with huesillos and consider adding red quinoa for color variety.
