Quinoa and Parmesan Gratin

Hello my dear friends!

Today it’s thanks to Pinterest that I’m sharing this recipe on the blog! As always with my own little adjustments… you are used to it now! 😉

Here is my quinoa and parmesan gratin.

So this gratin is my typical evening dish, easy to make, yummy for everyone. Veggies, quinoa, a little bit of fat (I know, I love fat!!) with the cream and pork belly. But you’ll will mainly find taste in this dish, made with simple ingredients.

Don’t you agree that it’s nice to have such plate as this quinoa and parmesan gratin on the table when it’s rainy or cold outside? It’s the perfect dish to share.

Cherry on the cake: you can re-heat easily in your microwave oven! It will also be a good option for a good lunch-box for those who bring their lunch at work.

As far as preparation is concerned: super easy, you can not fail it!

The utensils:

A sauce pan to cook the quinoa,

A large frying pan for the zucchinis and pork belly

And a gratin dish.

You obviously have all of it in your kitchen! So let’s do this!
