Blackberry Pomegranate Quinoa Parfait Recipes

Steps:

• For the puree: Add the blackberries to a medium saucepan with the sugar and lime juice. Cook over low heat, covered, 20 to 25 minutes. Strain using a fine mesh strainer, pressing the berries to extract as much juice/puree as possible. Place in the fridge to cool completely.
• For the lime sugar: Mix together the sugar and lime zest. Use a piece of lime to moisten the rim of each margarita glass, and then dip in the lime sugar.
• For the margaritas: In a blender, add 1 cup of the tequila, 1/4 cup of the triple sec, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the juice of 1 lime. Fill the blender with ice and blend until smooth. Then add as much blackberry puree as desired, 1/3 to 1/2 cup. Pour into 4 rimmed glasses and serve immediately. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients for the other 4 glasses.

Steps:

• Combine fruit spread and chia seeds in medium bowl. Stir in berries and quinoa. Combine yogurt and lemon peel in small bowl.
• Divide half of quinoa mixture evenly into 4 parfait glasses. Reserve 2 tablespoons yogurt for garnish. Top quinoa mixture with 1/3 cup yogurt. Divide and spoon remaining quinoa mixture over yogurt. Top with dollop of yogurt and lemon slice. Chill.
