Quinoa Stir Fry is so nutritious and delicious.  Quinoa is naturally gluten-free, contains many vitamins & minerals, and is the only plant food considered to be a complete protein with 9 essential amino acids.  1 cup of quinoa yields 8 healthy grams of protein.

INGREDIENTS:

Organic Red Quinoa = 1 Cup

Filtered Water = 2 Cups

Pasture Raised Eggs = 2 - 3

Organic Mushrooms = 1/2 - 1 Cup

Organic Ground Cayenne Pepper = 1/2 Teaspoon

Organic Celtic Salt = 1 Teaspoon

Organic Ground Cumin = 1/2 Teaspoon

Organic Ground Chili Powder = 1/2 Teaspoon

Organic Black Ground Pepper = 1/2 Teaspoon

Ghee or Coconut Oil = 1 Tablespoon

INSTRUCTIONS:

 I prefer to prepare my Quinoa in my InstaPot, but you can also prepare the Quinoa in a saucepan (see below).

InstaPot Quinoa: Place one cup of Quinoa into Instapot, cover with 2 cups of filtered water, and add seasonings of choice.  Cover and place on rice setting.  Instapot will take approximately 10 minutes to complete and Quinoa will be perfectly fluffy.  Hint: make extra to use in other recipes throughout the week!

Cast Iron Skillet - Place 1 tablespoon of ghee in cast iron skillet and sauté mushrooms with salt and pepper.  Add 2 pasture raised eggs, scramble gently with mushrooms, add Quinoa to the mix and sauté together for a few minutes.  

Serve and enjoy!

Stove top Quinoa: Add 2 cups of water and salt to sauce pan and bring to a boil.  Cover, reduce heat to medium low, and let simmer until water absorbs- about 15-20 minutes.  Remove from heat and let set aside for 5 minutes, uncover and fluff with fork. 

Ideas: Add spinach or any other veggies to your stir fry! Experiment with seasonings and enjoy this healthy and nutritious dish.
