Quinoa Medley
4 steps
Prep:30minCook:15h
We whipped up this medley of vegetables and then threw in some diced ham we had available. After enjoying, we agreed that a over medium fried egg or poached egg would have been a great addition. My husband also decided this is a great make ahead dish to then warm up for a quick breakfast with the egg or add cold to leafy greens with a mild dressing for a quick salad. Reason to make again!
