Garlic Mushroom Quinoa

This is such a great side dish for fall. It's delicious and easy. It really goes well with anything.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley

In a large saucepan of 2 cups water, cook quinoa according to package instructions; set aside. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms, garlic and thyme, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in quinoa until well combined. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley and Parmesan.

YEAH!!  LoLa is in the house with a yummy recipe!  Thank you!

 

Plain quinoa will not fly with my family...I like it....not them!  But if I jazz it up....they love it!

 

I recently tried a Mexican Quinoa recipe and it was a BIG hit!  I know this will be too!

Hi Respect Life! This one is a goodie! I know how you feel because my family won't it the plain quinoa either. The garlic and Parmesan really give this a risotto feel. I hope that you enjoy it!

 

Hi Millie! Sometimes I wish ingredients would magically appear in my pantry. It would definitely make my life easier. I hope if you try this, you'll like it.

 

Thanks again,

LoLa

Hi BigBro...

 

I couldn't agree more. This could be a meal in itself.

 

Happy Thursday,
