Ingredients
  • 200 g quinoa (rinsed and drained)
  • 4 gluten-free sausages (such as Toulouse sausages, smoked sausages, mild chorizo ​​or merguez according to your taste)
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1 red pepper, cut into small cubes

  • 1 tsp sweet paprika

Preparation
  1. 1
    Cooking the quinoa: In a saucepan, cook the quinoa in twice its volume of water (about 400 ml), or following the instructions on the package. Once cooked and the water absorbed, fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside.
  2. 2
    Prepare the sausages and vegetables: While the quinoa cooks, heat the olive oil (or without oil) in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages cut into slices and fry them until golden brown. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
  3. 3
    Brown the vegetables: In the same pan, add the onion, red pepper and garlic. Saute vegetables until tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika and cumin, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. 4
    Assemble the pastel: Preheat your oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, vegetables, browned sausage, crème fraîche and half of the grated cheese. Salt and pepper to taste.
  5. 5
    Baking: Pour the mixture into a gratin dish and sprinkle the top with the rest of the grated cheese. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and slightly crisp.

    Finishing and serving: Remove from the oven, let the quinoa pastel rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
