Quinoa With Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• Wash mushrooms, then pat dry or let drain for 15 minutes. Remove and discard stems, then slice caps 1/4-inch thick. Set aside.
• Wash quinoa with cold water three times, then let drain for 10 minutes. Combine vegetable oil, quinoa, salt and 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste in a pot on medium heat. Add water to cover quinoa by 1/4 inch and boil until done, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Combine soy sauce, vinegar, Yellow Pepper Paste, ginger paste and remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste in small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
• Heat a wok over medium-high heat, then add vegetable oil and heat until smoking-hot. Add mushrooms and stir-fry for 1 minute, then set aside in small bowl.
• Add more oil to the wok and heat until hot, then add red onions and cook for 1 minute. Add tomato and cook for 1 minute, then add three-quarters of the stir-fry cooking sauce and saute for 30 seconds more. Add cooked mushrooms and stir-fry for final 15 seconds. Set half aside. Add half of cooked quinoa and remaining stir-fry sauce to the wok and cook for 1 minute.
• To serve, add all quinoa and pour over all mushroom stir-fry. Garnish with the green onions and cilantro leaves and serve.
• Cut peppers in half and remove seeds and veins.
• Add to a medium pot and cover with cold water. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, then let peppers boil for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain well for 15 minutes. Repeat this step two additional times, starting peppers each time in fresh cold water.
• While still warm, peel off skin. Blend skinless peppers in a blender to create a paste. Let paste cool down, then store in a lidded container in the fridge.

Steps:

• Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and swirl olive oil around the inside of the pan to coat. Cook shallot in the hot oil until translucent, about 3 minutes; stir in cremini mushrooms, cooking and stirring until mushrooms are browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir quinoa, thyme, bay leaf, kosher salt, and black pepper into mushroom mixture. Cook, stirring often, until quinoa gives off a slightly toasted fragrance, about 5 minutes.
• Pour vegetable stock into quinoa mixture (stock may spatter a bit); stir to combine. Bring to a full boil, reduce heat to low, and cover pan; simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and fluff quinoa pilaf with a fork; cover pan and let pilaf stand 10 more minutes to steam dry.

Steps:

• Mix water, quinoa, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, and chicken bouillon granules in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until white threads appear on the quinoa grains, about 15 minutes.
• Melt 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute mushrooms, onion, and red bell pepper in hot oil until softened, 5 to 7 minutes; season with salt.
• Stir red wine and soy sauce into the vegetable mixture; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the liquid is reduced, about 10 minutes.
• Mix quinoa and vegetables in a large serving bowl; top with Parmesan cheese.

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.
