Chicken Sausage and Asparagus With Quinoa
Hubs is always singing the praises of the health benefits of asparagus and quinoa and loves to eat them plain. To eat his own, I guess. However, it’s amazing how a little garlic and spices can hide the fact that these are two of my least favourite foods and win me over.
Lately, I've been stepping out of my comfort zone with meals by experimenting with foods I’m not usually fond of - like this Pork and Brussels Sprouts Stir Fry. Do you ever challenge yourself to do that too?
I was actually SO happy to have leftovers because it tasted just as great the next day. I rarely make a recipe twice, but this might be one we make on the regular because it’s not only tasty, but healthy too!
Buy the tastiest chicken sausage you can find. This one has added red pepper which makes it looks like Christmas on a plate once it’s cooked with the other green ingredients lol!
Use your largest deep skillet to cook the chicken and asparaugus; you’ll need room for the quinoa!
The trick to making quinoa that tastes good is to rinse it well before you cook it. That removes a lot of the bitterness I don’t like.
But by the time you add the spices…
… and hot sauce…
… and parsley, the quinoa is merely a filler to bulk up the recipe.
Be sure to add a heavy sprinkle of crumbled goat cheese when you serve it!
