A delicious dish merging earthy mushrooms with nutty quinoa, highlighted by aromatic garlic. Perfect for healthy meals any time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and liquid is absorbed.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
- Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and combine it with the sautéed mushrooms and garlic in the skillet. Toss everything together gently to mix the flavors well.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
Rinse quinoa well before cooking to remove saponin. Add herbs or vegetables for extra flavor and nutrition.
