Quinoa with Greens & Asparagus

You will need:

• 1/2 cup quinoa
• 1 1/2 cups pure water
• 1/2 cup diced asparagus stems and tips (keep tips separate)
• 1/2 cup finely shredded greens of your choice
• 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
• Rock salt to taste(optional)
• 1 tbsp ghee

Wash the quinoa thoroughly by rinsing it several times. Drain.

Heat a pan and roast the quinoa dry for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add water, greens and asparagus stems, stir and bring to a boil.

Cover, reduce heat and cook at a gentle simmer for about 15 minutes until quinoa grains are translucent.

Heat ghee in a pan until clear. Add the asparagus tops and black pepper and stir-fry briefly, about 2 minutes.

Stir in the salt and the spiced asparagus tops into the quinoa.

Enjoy warm.
