MAPLE , NUT AND QUINOA PIE

Preheat your oven to 180 deg C. To save time in class we used a frozen sweet short crust pastry . We blind baked the frozen pastry crust for 10 minutes , then removed the beans and baked for a further 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Empty the contents of 1 x 397 gm can of sweetened condensed milk into a small / medium saucepan . Fill the empty milk can with maple syrup and combine with the milk in the saucepan . In a separate bowl beat 2 eggs really well and then add to the mixture along with 1 dsp of quinoa. Cook over a med/ low heat until thickened . Add 120 gm of slivered almonds and pour into the baked pie crust . Cool , serve with thickened , whipped cream .
