Fried Veggies and Quinoa

* 1 cup Baby Bella mushrooms, quartered
* 1 sliced lemon or lime
* 2 cloves garlic, chopped
* Thumb-sized ginger root, chopped
* 1 sliced medium-sized zucchini
* 2 green onion stalks, chopped
* 1 cup quinoa
* 2 cups flat leaf spinach
* Optional: Fish of your choice
(I used canned salmon since that was what I had on hand.)

Begin preparing quinoa. Prepare according to box. For mine, it was 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water; bring to boil, then simmer for 10 minutes or until  water is absorbed.

While quinoa is boiling, prepare veggies. Coat large frying pan or wok in olive oil. Use a separate smaller frying pan for fish. Put fish, chopped garlic, chopped ginger, chopped green onion, and two or three lemon or lime slices in small frying pan. Put zucchini, mushrooms, and the rest of the lemon or lime slices in larger pan. If not using fish, put all veggies in wok or large frying pan.



 Fry until zucchini is tender and fish is white and flaky. Spread a bed of one cup of spinach on each plate. Sprinkle quinoa on spinach.
Place veggies on this mix. Place fish on top of veggies.

Enjoy!

    I think this looks good but I'm not sure I would like the bed of spinach as I like only a little spinach in my salads.

    I put just about everything on a bed of spinach. I love the flavor and you can't beat the nutritional content. It's also proven to be more filling, so when you're on a diet, you can't go wrong with spinach! But if you just don't like it very much, try using your favorite bagged salad mix. :)
