Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 cup water
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 small sweet onion, chopped
1 cup button mushroom, sliced
1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced
water, as needed
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper
1/4 cup slivered almonds, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Mix quinoa, water and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms, sweet potatoes, and cayenne pepper; season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Cover the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the sweet potato is soft, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water into the skillet as needed to keep the vegetables from drying out and sticking.
  • Divide the quinoa among 4 plates and ladle the vegetables over the quinoa. Sprinkle with almond slivers.
