This year – at least so far – I have been unable to find the quinoa flakes that were so helpful last year for my Passover Granola. So what’s a gal to do?!
After asking at both of the likely stores nearby (there is one more a bit further away to check), I woke up early this morning determined to find a solution, which appeared in the form of Buckwheat Penne pasta.
Of course I had to cook it first – al denté – and then I cut the pasta into little rings and toasted it in the pan just like I would do if it were (the customary) oatmeal. Then I stirred in the usual ingredients in turn, and hoped for the best.
My husband – and number one granola fan – was brave enough to try it and pronounced it delicious. (Whew.) The bottom line is that if you can find quinoa flakes, go for it. Otherwise you can substitute any Kosher L’Passover (KLP) small pasta shape.
Let me know how it goes!!
