Quinoa is a naturally gluten-free grain, which has more protein<\/a>, fiber, vitamins and minerals per serving then Arborio rice (the grain traditionally used in risotto<\/a>). This lighter variation has the same creamy consistency but is a lot quicker and easier to make. (Read: No standing over the stove continuously stirring for 40 minutes!) Topped with mushrooms<\/a> \u2014 a good source of iron<\/a> and vitamin D \u2014 this a great warming dish to enjoy during cooler months.<\/p>\n

Quinoa Mushroom Risotto Recipe<\/h3>\n

Serves 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Prep time: 10 minutes
\nCook time: 20 minutes
\n[skinnybox]<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 cup quinoa, rinsed
\n3\/4 cup white wine
\n2 1\/2 cups vegetable stock
\n1 onion, finely chopped
\n2 cloves garlic
\n2 tablespoon olive oil
\n1\/2 teaspoon thyme, chopped
\n2 cups chopped mushrooms
\n1\/4 teaspoon salt
\n2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Place the vegetable stock in a saucepan on medium-low heat and leave to simmer.<\/li>\n
  2. In a separate pan saut\u00e9 the mushrooms and 1 clove of garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil on low heat, season with the chopped thyme and salt and cook until the mushrooms are golden in color (6-8 minutes). Once cooked, set aside.<\/li>\n
  3. Meanwhile, in a pot over medium heat saut\u00e9 the chopped onion and 1 crushed garlic clove in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until the onions turn translucent in color.<\/li>\n
  4. Add in the quinoa and cook for 4-5 minutes until it begins to turn golden in color. Pour in the wine to deglaze the pan and stir.<\/li>\n
  5. Once the wine has begun to evaporate add in a ladle of the warm vegetable broth. Continue the process of adding in a ladle of stock every few minutes when it looks like most of the liquid has evaporated.<\/li>\n
  6. After approximately 8-10 minutes taste the quinoa to check if it\u2019s tender, if not add another ladle of stock.<\/li>\n
  7. Once the quinoa has reached your desired texture, divide the quinoa between bowls, top with the mushrooms and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
