I have to thank my friend Nicola for this recipe, as she made it for us in our study group the other day and I absolutely loved it! It has quinoa in it, which is almost super food – it’s that good or you. It’s very high in protein and is a source of complete protein. (A complete protein is a source of protein that contains an adequate proportion of all nine of the essential amino acids necessary for the dietary needs of humans) It is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. Quinoa is also gluten-free!

1 cup quinoa
1. fry onion gently, add celery and garlic
2. add spinach until welted (chop first or use a machine)
3. add vegetable stock and bring to boil
4. add salt and pepper
5. add quinoa and boil around 10-15min

Enjoy!
This was really goood even though I still do not know how it really should taste as I didn´t have celery. I threw in some sweet potatoes and roasted home grown cherry tomatoes as a replacement. Yummy yummy. Will do this again and again.
Great! I am thinking of making it next time with half spinach half kale!
