Green quinoa with sesame eggs

I love creating recipes. To find inspiration, I borrow tone of books at the library. Here a recipe inspired by the Australian women’s weekly delicious gluten-free food, from Dr Joana McMillan.For once, I haven’t make many modifications.

This recipe is gluten free and can be done without garlic if you’re under a low fodmap diet.

 

Serves : 4

• • 1cup (200g) quinoa, soaked and rinsed
  • 2 cups (500ml) bone broth (or water)
