Recipe: Quinoa with Shittake (vegan)

[Guest guest]

Here's a great / simple recipe I got from my mom:

 

Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa (rinsed and drained)

Salt

Extra virgin olive oil

1 red bell pepper, diced

2-3 minced garlic cloves (I just used powder

1 tsp. dried basil

2 cups sliced shittake mushrooms, sliced*

1 small onion, diced

2 -3 fresh scallions (optional)

 

 

Place quinoa in a saucepan with 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Add a pinch

of salt, cover, and reduce heat. Cook about 25 minutes or until all liquid is

absorbed and quinoa " opens up " .

 

While quinoa cooks, place small amount of oil, garlic, onion, and red pepper in

a skillet and turn heat to medium. When peppers begin to sizzle, add a pinch of

salt and basil, and saute for 1 or 2 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and saute

another 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.

 

When quinoa is cooked, stir in the mushroom mixture. Garnish with scallions if

desired.

 

*The recipe called for 1 cup Shittake and 1 cup white button mushrooms. I

really liked it with all shittake. Try whatever combo of mushroom you like.

 

Peace,

Dave
