"Malaparte" Pork and Vegetables over Red Quinoa

I was introduced to quinoa by my architect friend Sarah, who also visited this beautiful red villa in Capri, Italy. The house was envisioned in 1937 by architect Adalberto Libera for Curzio Malaparte. Malaparte actually rejected Libera's design and built the home himself with Adolfo Amitrano, a local stone mason.
When making this dish with this deep red quinoa, I thought of this famous red house, which also makes an appearance in Godard's film "Contempt" with Brigitte Bardot. walking on the roof of this house.

Ingredients,

• 1 cup of red quinoa and 2 cups of water
• 2 pork chops cut into strips
• 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• salt and pepper
• a few handfuls of vegetables, asparagus, red pepper, and garbanzo beans

How to make it,

1. Boil 2 cups of water in a small pot, when the water boils pour in 1 cup of quinoa and turn to low heat for 15 minutes until water boils away.
2. Pat pork chop strips with salt and pepper
3. Pour a bit of sesame oil in a medium sized meatal pan and add the pork chops.
4. Flip the pork over until it browns, adding the honey and balsamic vinegar, then set aside.
5. In another pan, sautee the assorted vegetables in a bit of sesame oil and salt and pepper for a few minutes just to bring out the color and to keep them crispy.
6. Layer the red quinoa, then the vegetables, then the pork chops. I arranged the pork chops in a terraced "stepped" style in the fashion of the Villa Malaparte, which has a staircase that leads to its dramatic view roof.
