Feb 15, 2010 – Quinoa and Carrot Stir Fry
This was kinda a spur of the moment dinner. I had just a few ingredients, since we had not gone to the store for the week.
I had some green pepper, carrots, quinoa, rice avocado, mushrooms, onions and sweet potato. None of which amounted to much all by themselves, but together, they made a great meal.
First I julleine cut the sweet potato, and the carrot and green pepper and started to cook the rice and quinoa.
I stir fried the onion in some olive oil and for 3 minutes or so. I added the sweet potato, and green pepper and some stir fry sauce, about 1 tbsp.
As it cooked, I added the mushrooms and carrots, and right at the last 3 minutes I added the avocado in small dollops.
I plated the rice and quinoa and just put the stir fry right on the plate, I was pretty hungry so I am happy that I at least got a few pictures of this one.
