Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, caps thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
4 ounces snow peas, thinly sliced on an angle
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 scallion, white and green, sliced

Steps:

  • Place the quinoa and 2 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir once, cover and reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand 5 minutes, uncover and fluff with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the snow peas, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, until bright green but still crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Combine the cooked quinoa, mushroom mixture, soy sauce, scallions and remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil in a medium bowl. Toss gently to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

QUINOA WITH MUSHROOMS



Quinoa with Mushrooms image

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.
