Quinoa with Mushrooms

SUBMITTED BY: Jen Cardenas PHOTO BY: Jen Cardenas

"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."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (8 ounce) package mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 1/2 cups quinoa, rinsed
  • 3 cups chicken broth

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the mushrooms, onion, and garlic in the hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes; set aside.
