Sun Dried Tomato and Spinach Quinoa with Smoked Sausage
High in protein and fiber, my spinach quinoa recipe makes a great easy weekday dinner. Quinoa is one of the most versatile of super-foods. It's a go-to for many Vegetarians. This dish is easily Vegetarian friendly by leaving out the smoked sausage.
Bring the 2 cups of vegetable broth to a boil and add in the quinoa. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the quinoa is cooking heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add in the garlic, sun dried tomato and onion. Saute for for several minutes. Careful not to burn the garlic.
Slice the smoked sausage link and add it to your pan and heat through.
Add in the fresh spinach and allow to wilt down, continually stirring the mixture.
Lastly, add in your cooked quinoa. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated. Salt and pepper to taste.
