Quinoa with Asparagus Omelette

DSCF1023

Now that the chocolate series has ended, I would like to cook and post some savoury foods.
Since I went wheat free, quinoa has been a good substitution for wheat.
It’s very easy to cook quinoa.
This was my Sunday lunch. I prepared a omelette with asparagus, as this is the right season for fresh asparagus.

TIP
Don’t season the quinoa as the thyme in the frittata is enough.
Thyme is the best herb so far for omelettes or egg based recipes. 

Cheers!

      You know I would cook for you, but I think it’s much better to share a meal at home than at work…It just wouldn’t taste the same :)
