Quinoa Stir Fry With Spinach & Walnuts

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Nice one skillet recipe by toasting the walnuts first and then setting aside. used tricolor quinoa, toasted it, and used stock to cook the quinoa, but felt the dish needed bit more flavor. Added a little red wine vinegar, and a couple more cloves of garlic. Lots of chopped basil, and some chopped green onions as well.

    Quinoa Stir Fry With Spinach & Walnuts,Found this in Prevention Magazine, this is easy, healthy and most importantly…very tasty. You can substitute any cheese for the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. I recommend a strong hard cheese, but I have used all kinds and they all work. When Im in a rush, I leave out the walnut pieces. A great side dish or when I am really lazy, add some cooked chicken for a great meal.,Nice one skillet recipe by toasting the walnuts first and then setting aside. used tricolor quinoa, toasted it, and used stock to cook the quinoa, but felt the dish needed bit more flavor.
