Yield Makes 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/2 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
1 ounce mixed dried mushrooms
2 cups red quinoa
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, quartered
2 shallots, coarsely chopped
Coarse salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
2 Valencia or navel oranges, peel and pith removed, flesh thinly sliced into rounds

Steps:

  • Bring stock to a boil; pour over dried mushrooms in a small bowl. Soak until soft, about 6 minutes. Pour liquid through a fine sieve into a bowl; set aside. Coarsely chop soaked mushrooms; set aside.
  • Rinse quinoa thoroughly in a fine sieve; drain. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking; add fresh mushrooms, shallots, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms and shallots have released their liquid and are slightly caramelized, about 7 minutes. Add quinoa; cook, stirring, until it begins to pop and crackle, about 5 minutes.
  • Add reserved soaked mushrooms, reserved soaking liquid, and thyme to pot; bring to a boil. Stir; cover, and reduce heat. Simmer until quinoa is tender but still chewy, about 20 minutes. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, and the butter. Just before serving, stir in dill and chives; add oranges, and gently toss.

BAMBOO AND MUSHROOM QUINOA PILAF (GLUTEN-FREE)



Bamboo and Mushroom Quinoa Pilaf (Gluten-Free) image

This Asian flavored quinoa pilaf can also be made in a rice cooker (Just dump everything in the rice cooker and turn on the switch). Chinese or Japanese grocery stores sell various types of mushrooms for less if there is one in your neighborhood. They also sell cooked bamboo shoots in water, but you can also use canned bamboo shoots. If you sprinkle some chopped green onions on top before you serve it, it would look prettier.
