To make the custard bring the milk to the boil with the scraped seeds & pod of the vanilla.

Meanwhile whisk the yolks flour & sugar together. When milk is boiled pour over yolk mixture while whisking.

Return to the pan and bring to the boil. Stir constantly to prevent it sticking. Simmer for 3-4 minutes. Pour into a container to cool, covering with cling wrap on the surface to prevent a skin forming.

Cover quinoa with water and bring to the boil. Simmer until tender. Drain.
