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.
