How to Make Quinoa With Peas And Sausage
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of your favorite sausage, sliced (or 4 slices of bacon, chopped). Cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes, rendering out the fat.
- Stir in 1 cup quinoa and cook for 1-2 minutes, until lightly toasted.
- Add 1 teaspoon mustard seeds and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in 2 cups of vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon Herbes de Provence. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed and quinoa is cooked through.
- Stir in 1 cup fresh or frozen peas (or 1 cup of sauteed mushrooms, corn, etc.) and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or other fresh herbs).
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If there's excess liquid, drain it off.
- Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!
