Method
Prepare the Base
- 1
Cook Quinoa
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Cook the Sausage

Sauté Sausage
While the quinoa is cooking, slice the Portuguese sausage into half-moon shapes. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they are browned and crispy on the edges. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables

Sauté Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and chopped red bell pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the spinach and cook until it wilts, about 2 minutes.

Mix Everything Together
