How to Prepare Coconut and Turmeric Fried Quinoa With Green Veggies [Vegan, Grain-Free]

  1. Heat coconut oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, ginger, jalapeño, and a pinch of salt and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often.
  2. Add turmeric, coriander, and a few grinds of black pepper to skillet, and stir for a minute until spices are fragrant.
  3. Add sugar snap peas to skillet and sauté until lightly caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Add Napa cabbage and cook for another minute to wilt the greens. Stir in quinoa and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  4. Turn off heat and season to taste with coconut aminos.
  5. Serve hot with lime wedges, avocado, sliced chives, and sesame seeds.

Gomasio can be found in the international spice section of your local grocery store.
