The Formula One driver likes to eat quinoa porridge before morning training. Experiment with full-fat dairy milk, coconut or hazelnut milk, because quinoa is pretty bland and needs plenty of added fat and flavour.
Makes two bowlfuls
The night before, put 150g quinoa in a bowl of cold water, refrigerate and leave to soak. The next morning, drain and rinse the quinoa, to remove bitterness. Put a saucepan on a medium heat and add the quinoa, a pinch of salt and 300ml almond milk. Bring to a simmer, then turn right down and cook, stirring regularly, for 15-20 minutes, until soft and not at all gritty; add more milk, if necessary. Quinoa porridge isn’t as creamy as oat porridge, so make it 50:50 with oats if you prefer a more traditional texture. Add four tablespoons of coconut cream and a splash more almond milk. Serve with honey or maple syrup, and fresh or cooked fruit on top.
