QUINOA WITH MUSHROOMS

Quinoa is a healthy grain that can be substituted in most recipes for rice or couscous. I recently experimented with quinoa and made this dish which my husband and I both love. This easy-to-make and tasty side dish is similar to a pilaf.

SIMPLE SAVORY QUINOA



Simple Savory Quinoa image

A savory side dish, tasty yet simple, with carrots, celery, onions and quinoa. I always cut my veggies really small, more like mincing because I don't like chunky veggies. It is always optional to cut this small. This would probably taste great with rice as well.

QUINOA WITH CELERY AND MUSHROOMS



Quinoa with Celery and Mushrooms image

I can just hear someone shouting "Oh, no, not quinoa again," but this is really good. I made it for friends who cannot eat onions or garlic. Looking around for a solution, I found that the freezer had two plastic containers of _Boletus_ mushrooms that I had picked, cooked, and frozen in the summer. If-as is probable-fresh _Boletus_ are not available, use another good mushroom. Even if you don't forage as I do, you will find an expanding selection of flavorful mushrooms in shops-labeled "wild" only to differentiate them from regular mushrooms. They need not be frozen. In fact, they will need to be defrosted if frozen. Don't worry if this makes more than you need. My friends took home the remains, and so will yours.
