Notes
- Use gluten-free oats to make this dish certified GF.
- Porridge will keep in the fridge for a few days and is easily reheated on the stove or in the microwave.
- The roasted oranges contain honey. If you are a vegan who doesn't eat honey, use maple syrup instead.

Ingredients
- For the quinoatmeal:
1/4 cup quinoa
1-1 3/4 cups water
1/2 cup almond milk, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon coconut or olive oil
1/2 cup steel cut oats
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the roasted blood oranges:
1 blood orange (or any citrus fruit)
1 teaspoon olive oil
A few pinches of cinnamon
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
- To make the quinoatmeal: Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse for about 2 minutes. Place in a medium saucepan with the water and milk.
- Heat the coconut or olive oil in a small pan and toast the oats on medium until they begin to smell nutty.
- Add oats to the saucepan with quinoa and liquid. Add the allspice and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil. Cover the saucepan. Reduce heat to low and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your desired texture. Stir every 5 minutes, adding more water if the mixture seems dry. Turn off the heat and let sit, covered, for another 5 minutes.
- To make the oranges: While the quinoa is sitting, preheat the broiler (or heat your oven to at least 475°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel the orange and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
- Place the orange slices on the baking sheet and drizzle with oil, cinnamon, honey, and vanilla. Toss oranges to coat. Broil for 5 minutes, then check the fruit. Continue to bake until the oranges are roasted to your liking. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
