Here is how you make Smoked Sausage and Quinoa:

1. Start the quinoa cooking in another pan (bring to a boil and then simmer until all water is absorbed).2. Slice the smoked sausage and toss in a hot pan; brown on each side for the best taste. Add in the onions and bell peppers, cook until soft. Add the tomatoes, beans and spices. Simmer until the quinoa is done.3. Add the quinoa to pan, one scoop at a time and stir in. Adjust the dish to your tastes, you might not want all 3 cups of cooked quinoa in the dish (the nutrition calculator only includes .75 cups of uncoked quinoa as I had some leftover).4. Add the spinach and stir in - feel free to add even more. Turn off the heat and serve. Garlic and other spices and herbs would be good in this.Serving Size: 6 good sized servingsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user XIXSTAR.
