Sauteed Quinoa is a very simple and quick recipe you can have in your breakfast. Actually this one is kind of all in one recipe where you can use this sauteed quinoa to make droolicious salads, can use this quinoa base to make some one bowl meal or have it as it is with fruits.
I am in the “experiment mode” these days as I am trying to include pulses, grains as much as I can in my regular diet. Quinoa is high in protein, high in fibre and gluten free grain you can get easily.
If you are new like me in terms of following a healthy, nutritious diet, This sauteed quinoa is a great start 😉 because it is super easy to make and made with 5 ingredients only 😉
Can we store this quinoa?
Yes you can. This garlicky quinoa can stay fresh up to 6 days when stored properly in an air tight container. If you are living in warmer places like India, This quinoa can stay fresh for 2 days only 🙂 do not freeze this recipe. I recommended to make fresh batch every time.
