Sprouted Granola with Yogurt Blueberry Sauce & Fresh Fruit

When we were in Copenhagen last month we met up with Sarah B, a lover that we only knew through emails and blog comments before. I’m sure many of you're already conversant in her fabulous blog My New Roots. 
If not, you want to skip there immediately. Her recipes are enormously inspiring and delicious. you'll also devour a truckload of interesting nutritional facts without even reflecting about it. Sarah was even as warm and filled with humor as her blog posts are. Her food philosophy is extremely very similar to ours, so you'll imagine we had an excellent time together. She was planning a vacation and asked us if we’d wish to do a guest post while she was gone. Such an honor!

We wanted to make something that we had never tried before, and came up with this unusually pretty breakfast dish. We sprouted buckwheat and quinoa then dried them during a dehydrator (or at rock bottom temperature within the oven) – along side linseeds, pumpkin seeds and edible fruit . 
What comes out may be a raw sprouted granola that's crunchy, a touch bit sweet, sticky and completely gluten free. due to the sprouting, this recipe takes a couple of days to finish . But fear not, it's totally worthwhile . Serve it like we've done here – with a blueberry sauce, yogurt and a few fresh fruit – and it'll impress anyone. If you scroll down we offer you a fast tutorial the way to sprout. you'll read the remainder of the recipe at My New Roots.

How to sprout Buckwheat & Quinoa Seeds
You need:
2 glass jars
2 screen lids (if you don’t have a screw on sprouting lid you'll make your own with a cheesecloth, a hardware cloth OR a nylons and a rubber band)
1 cup buckwheat seeds (hulled groats)
½ cup quinoa

Directions:

1. Start by rinsing your seeds during a strainer under running water, then detect any dark seeds, stones or any imperfect seeds. Transfer your seeds into the sprouting jar.
2. Add 2-3 times the maximum amount , water . Soak for a minimum of half-hour (buckwheat take up all the water they have quickly), then drain off the soak water. Rinse the seeds until the water runs clear and drain very thoroughly.
3. Set your sprouting jar during a bright place (out of direct sunlight) at temperature . Rinse and drain well about every 4 hours (no, you don’t need to go up at night). The sprouts are going to be wiped out 36-48 hours or when the sprouting tail is as long because the seed. (Quinoa sprouts quicker than buckwheat).
Store during a sealed container and put them in your refrigerator. Use within 1-2 weeks.
