"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Directions:
Cut up all veggies while quinoa is cooking on stove. Cook quinoa in small pan as instructions say on box, then set aside. Preheat oven to 375. Sauté in large wok with olive oil covering bottom or pan: onion, celery, mushrooms, pepper, carrots, and minced garlic. Add spices, corn, black beans and cooked quinoa at end and mix on low. Beat eggs lightly with milk and cheese in large bowl. Then add veggie/quinoa mixture to bowl and mix altogether. Pour into frozen pie crusts. Place in oven and bake for 45 min or until done. (Should be like a quiche texture when finished). Makes a lot and also freezes nicely. Very healthy and high in protein!
