Description

A delicious and easy recipe that tastes SO good, you won’t believe it’s actually good for you.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Quinoa
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, (plus A Drizzle)
  • 1 whole Small Sweet Onion, Diced
  • 2 cloves Cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 cup Sliced Mushrooms
  • ¼ cups Dry White Wine
  • 1 bunch Fresh Spinach
  • Fresh Parsley, Rough Chop
  • ¼ cups Grated Parmesan Cheese, Fresh Stuff PLEASE

Preparation

Cook quinoa as directed on the box, but please use chicken broth or stock. It adds a lot more flavor than water.

In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and the salt, and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add mushrooms and sauté for an addtional 5 minutes. Add the white wine and turn the heat up to medium-high and let simmer until all the liquid has evaporated. Add spinach until wilted down. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Once the quinoa is cooked through and wine has simmered off the mushroom/onion mixture, add the quinoa to the skillet and toss with the mushroom mixture. Add some roughly chopped of fresh parsley, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and the parmesan cheese.

Really good! I used bulgur instead of quinoa, and it was delish.

Delicious! I didn’t use wine and did need more salt than the recipe suggested. We loved it!

This was a terrific recipe! My husband and I loved it as a side dish but it will be fabulous for our college aged daughter who is a vegetarian. Thanks for sharing!
