Mushroom Quinoa Pilaf Recipes

MUSHROOM QUINOA PILAF

Steps:

• Saute mushrooms in a large saute pan over medium heat with very small amount of vegetable broth or water until cooked through.
• Add the quinoa, 2 cups vegetable broth or water to the pan and heat until boiling. Turn down heat to simmer and cook about 15 minutes until all of the water is absorbed.
• Add the peas during the last few minutes of cooking along with the sun-dried tomatoes, and slivered almonds. Stir to combine.
• Mix dressing ingredients and add to quinoa, mixing to combine.

QUINOA PILAF WITH CRIMINI MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Place a saucepan on high heat and get it hot. Add the olive oil and swirl it around to make sure the entire surface is covered with oil. Add the shallot and sweat (cook until translucent but not brown). Add the crimini mushrooms and cook until brown. Add the quinoa, thyme leaves, bay leaf, kosher salt and black pepper to the pan and stir. Let the ingredients heat up and roast a little to bring out all their fullest flavors. The steam coming up should be very aromatic.
• Slowly and carefully add the vegetable stock (it will spatter because the pan and ingredients are hot). When it comes to full boil, reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover and allow to steam for about 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, turn off the heat, remove lid and fluff the quinoa and then replace the lid and allow to sit for about 10 minutes.
• Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary. Serve.
