Cheap healthy, hearty, quick meal- QUINOA WITH VEGGIES AND EGGS

This is a quick and healthy meal that costs us about $5.00 in Ecuador to throw together. It's loaded with vegetables and quinoa which is high in protein and fiber , so it fills you up without the fat. This can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

QUINOA WITH RAW OR SAUTEED VEGETABLES AND EGG- SERVES 4
----------------------------------------------
INGREDIENTS:
1 LB. BAG OF QUINOA COOKED TO PACKAGE INSTRUCTIONS(I usually boil 2 cups quinoa with 3 cups water with the lid on the pan)
Season quinoa with salt, pepper, oregano, cumin and crushed garlic cloves.
1 GREEN PEPPER SLICED
1 RED BELL PEPPER SLICED
1 MEDIUM SIZED ONION SLICED
1 LARGE TOMATO
4 TO 6 RED SKIN OR FINGERLING POTATOES BOILED OR BROILED
1 CUP FRESH OR FROZEN COOKED PEAS
1 CUP COOKED CORN
1 BUNCH OF BROCOLLI
TONS OF SPINACH, KALE OR CHARD
4 GARLIC CLOVES CRUSHED THEN CHOPPED
5 SPRIGS OF CILANTRO
2 AVOCADOES
4 Eggs boil or fry; whatever you desire

2 TABLESPOONS OF COOKING OIL

I PREFER TO USE ORGANIC COCONUT OIL AS MY COOKING OIL BECAUSE OF IT'S HEALTH BENEFITS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S NOT READILY AVAILABLE HERE IN SOUTH AMERICA AND IT COSTS A FORTUNE IF YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON IT. IT WAS SURPRISING BECAUSE YOU WOULD THINK THE CLIMATE WOULD RENDER COCONUTS BUT COCONUTS GROW IN TROPICAL CLIMATES AND SANDY SOIL. YOUR BEST BET WOULD BE EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL TO SAUTE THE VEGGIES, I JUST STARTED USING AVOCADO OIL WHICH IS ANOTHER HEALTHY OIL.

Heat oil in pan and sauté onions till soft, then add garlic.
Add all veggies and sauté for a few minutes and until spinach or greens are tender.
Place quinoa in a bowl, top with cooked or raw veggies, snipped cilantro , sliced avocado and egg.

Serve with hot sauce, salsa or chimchurri if you want to do it South American style.
