Serves: 2

Yield:

Units: US | Metric

1/2 cup quinoa, uncooked and well rinsed
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, sliced very thin
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 ounce feta cheese

Directions:

1

Rinse the quinoa in a strainer.
2

In a small saucepan, add the quinoa and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce heat to simmer until water is absorbed, about 10-15 minutes.
3

Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and garlic and onion.
4

Cook the garlic in the oil until the edges of the garlic turns very light brown, being careful not to burn the garlic (reduce heat to low if necessary).
5

When the quinoa is done cooking, add it to the skillet along with the spinach.
6

Stir it together until the spinach wilts.
7

Add the crumbled feta cheese and stir to combine. Makes 2 servings.
