This recipe combines the fiber-rich quinoa and spinach with mushrooms for a satisfying and nutritious meal.
Ingredients:
1 .1 cup quinoa
2 .2 cups vegetable broth
3 .2 tablespoons olive oil
4. 1 onion, chopped
5. 2 garlic cloves, minced
6. 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
7. 4 cups fresh spinach leaves
8. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
9. Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
*Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and set aside.
*In a medium pot, bring the vegetable broth to a simmer.
*In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
*Add the mushrooms and sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until they release their moisture and start to brown.
*Add the quinoa and stir to combine with the vegetables. Pour in the vegetable broth, cover the pan, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the broth has been absorbed.
*Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
*Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
*Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
