Strawberry Rhubarb Quinoa Puree

0 Comments

When I think summertime, I think strawberry rhubarb pie - one of my dad’s favorites!  If you take away all the sugar and go back to the basics, this  purée becomes a healthy dessert treat.   Most desserts that include rhubarb you will notice added sugar since rhubarb tends to have a tart taste.  However, the sweetness of the strawberries makes this a perfect combo.

Ingredients
1 2/3 cup water
1 stalk rhubarb

2 cups strawberries

1/2 cup quinoa


Wash and cut rhubarb into one inch pieces.  Bring 2/3 cup water to a boil, add rhubarb and cook for 10 minutes.  The rhubarb should be soft and stringy.   Cut tops off strawberries and place in blender.  
Meanwhile, bring 1 cup water to boil and add quinoa. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.  
When rhubarb and quinoa are finished cooking, add to strawberries in blender and purée.
Serve warm or chilled.
