BBQ Pork Fried Quinoa

Not the best picture, but I shouldn't expect much more from the iphone. Anyway, this was dinner last night. We had some leftover BBQ pork meat from some ribs made earlier and I am big on reusing leftovers.

Quinoa is one of our favorite new finds. Known to the Incan's as "Mother Grain", Quinoa is an excellent replacement for rice being tastier than brown (in my opinion) and much healthier than rice in general. It also happens to be gluten free, which makes it another plus for allergy families.  Of course, if you prefer to just use rice you can.

BBQ Pork Fried Quinoa

1/2 cup BBQ Pork Meat, diced (*always check the ingredients in your BBQ sauce)

1 1/2 cup Quinoa

2 cups diced carrots and peas

2 eggs

2 Tbsp soy sauce (check ingredients for gluten/wheat items)

1/4 cup chopped green onions

Cook quinoa like you do white rice (2 cups - 1 cup). In a large skillet, saute the peas and carrots until soft. Add BBQ Pork and cook for another 3 minutes , until meat is reheated. Remove skillet from heat and add cooked quinoa. In another pan, quickly scramble the eggs. Add eggs, green onions and soy sauce to quinoa mix. Stir it all up well and serve.

Simple meal, but very delicious.
