Smoked Salmon, Prosciutto, and Pea Quinoa

This is one of my favorite go-to dishes. Simon got me hooked on this because it is his go-to pasta dish! I just substituted the pasta for quinoa but you could also use gluten-free pasta.

Ingredients:
1 cup of quinoa (pre-rinsed)
10 thin slices of Prosciutto
1/4 pound (4 ounces) sliced smoked salmon 
8 oz. frozen peas
1 sweet onion (thinly sliced)
a bit of olive oil


Method:
- Add sliced onions to a lightly oiled skillet, let simmer until they begin to caramelize (turn golden-brown)
- In a separate pot, combine 1 cup of quinoa and 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, and letter simmer for about 15 minutes
- Meanwhile, heat peas in the microwave (place in bowl, add a bit of water, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes)
- Tear the prosciutto and salmon into small pieces ( I find it easiest to use your fingers) and add to the skillet of onions (add them once after the onions have cooked for about 15 minutes)
- Once the quinoa and onions are finished (all the water has dissolved and the onions are brown), add all of the ingredients together
- Stir all ingredients together and simmer for a few minutes
- All done! 

I forgot to buy an onion at the store so I did not use it this time! It still tasted great but it tastes even better with an onion. There is really no right or wrong way to make this. You don't have to follow the steps exactly. It works however you chose to make it. Enjoy!
