Mushroom Quinoa

The showtime fourth dimension I bought quinoa, I cooked it without whatever seasonings. I tasted it, shrugged my shoulders in addition to hence pose it dorsum inward the pantry. This COULDN'T live the same quinoa that people were raving close could it?

What I institute out (much later) was that yous stimulate got to add veggies, spices, etc. to the quinoa (while cooking) and then something magical happens. Quinoa takes on the attitude of whatever yous create it with......want beefy? create it inward beef broth, desire it spicy? create it alongside Rotel tomatoes. Some people fifty-fifty eat it for breakfast, but I haven't tried that yet.

So, lately, I've been experimenting with adding dissimilar things to quinoa in addition to this beefy quinoa was a hit. I promise yous similar it too.


 
 


MUSHROOM QUINOA
3/4 loving cup chopped onion
6 large mushrooms
1 large carrot
1 loving cup peas
1 loving cup quinoa (rinsed in addition to drained)
2 cups beef broth (I used Campbell's beef consume)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dark pepper
pinch of cayenne (optional)

Prep work: Remove stems from mushrooms in addition to pose them inward the nutrient processor along alongside the carrot. Pulse them until both vegetables are close the size of a pea. Next mitt piece the mushrooms fairly thickly in addition to laid aside. Note: add together equally many of your favorite veggies equally yous want.

Saute onions hence scoot them over to border of pan. Add the mushrooms in addition to sauté them (in the onion pan) until yous buy the farm approximately toasty brownish color on the edges.

Put EVERYTHING into a large sauce pot and select to a boil; cut down heat and put a tight plumbing equipment lid on it. Reduce boil to a gentle simmer (like for rice) in addition to create for 15-20 minutes. You volition know that the quinoa is cooked completely when yous run across that it has swollen to a semi transparent piddling circle in addition to it has a modest white seed shoot on it similar this:

 
After the quinoa is cooked, I similar to plough the oestrus off in addition to permit it sit down (with lid on) for 10 minutes earlier eating. 

Depending on how many veggies yous pack into this recipe (there is no limit), yous should buy the farm five or half-dozen cups inward the lastly dish. I freeze it inward i loving cup measures. No request to defrost, only microwave uncovered for ii minutes. It makes a neat (and filling) lunch, alongside no guilt !!

 
ENJOY !!
 
Quinoa is known equally a super nutrient for many reasons. The description of most of those reasons are words that I don't role every day, similar flavonoids, phylonutrients, antioxidants, etc.
 
For me, my reasons for enjoying quinoa are: it's quick in addition to tardily to prepare, it volition accept on whatever seasonings yous similar in addition to most of all, I tin eat a large bowl of this in addition to it doesn't number my blood sugars real much at all, addition it's gluten free!! I promise yous attempt it.
