Quinoa "Fried Rice"

8 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/4 pound Sweet Pork Sausage, casings removed
  • 4 cups Quinoa, cooked
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 6 pieces Farm Eggs
  • 3 cups Arugula, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Dill, chopped
  • 3 pieces Persian Cucumber, diced
  • Sriracha for serving, optional

Directions

  1. 1
    Put a cast iron pan on the stove top on medium high heat and cook your pork sausage, breaking it up as you go. When cooked, remove from pan with a slotted spoon and place into a mixing bowl.
  2. 2
    Toast cooked quinoa in the rendered fat from the sausage so that the quinoa gets a little crispy. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add quinoa to mixing bowl. (Note: If you have just cooked your quinoa before doing this, allow it to cool first so that it doesn't just absorb the fat and become mushy)
  3. 3
    Lower the temperature of the pan to medium low. Add a some extra virgin olive oil to the pan just to coat the bottom and crack your six eggs into the pan. Season the eggs with salt & pepper. Let the eggs cook for a minute as if you were to make sunny side up eggs, then crack the yolks and begin to move the eggs around in the pan so that you get a scramble that shows both the white and yellow of the egg. cook to your liking ( soft and fluffy or uber crispy!) Add your eggs to your mixing bowl
  4. 4
    Add arugula, dill, and cucumbers to your bowl. Drizzle the ingredients with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss ingredients to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning/oil if necessary. Serve with Sriracha on the side. For fun, try serving out of chinese takeout containers!
