Share:
Ingredients
- 1 pound red beets-peeled and cut into sixths (about 6)
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- kosher salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
- 2 teaspoons turmeric, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- Fresh lemon juice from 2 lemons
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Mushroom Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups dried Maitake Mushrooms - soaked in 2 cups of water for 30 minutes (reserve one cup of mushroom broth for stew)
- 2 teaspoons arrowroot powder
- 1 packet matzo meal
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
Quinoa Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
Instructions
- In a medium bowl soak the mushrooms for 30 minutes - drain liquid through a fine sleeved strainer lined with a paper towel into another bowl (as these are wild mushrooms there might be a bit of sand that drops to the bottom of the bowl during soaking).
- Reserve 1 cup of Maitake broth and save the remainder for another day.
- Finely chop the maitake mushrooms & rosemary. In a medium bowl combine mushrooms, rosemary, broth, arrowroot & matzo - stir until well combined. Set aside.
- Bring beets and 6 cups water to a boil in a 4-qt. saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until beets are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove pot from heat and, using a slotted spoon, transfer beets to a bowl; reserve beet juice.
- In a small sauce pan, bring 1 ½ cups of water to a boil - add turmeric and quinoa to pan, cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed & the ring around the quinoa begins to show. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Put garlic on a work surface and sprinkle with a little salt; finely chop. Scrape the garlic into a paste with the side of the chef's knife. In a small bowl, combine garlic paste, 1 tbsp. oil, coriander, cumin, curry powder, turmeric, paprika, ginger, and cayenne; set spice paste aside.
- Heat remaining olive oil in a 6-qt. pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Add reserved spice paste and tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of the reserved beet juice. Add remaining beet juice, lemon juice, and sugar; simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add reserved beets & mushroom mixture and cook for 15 more minutes or until thickened.
- To serve, ladle stew into bowls and top with desired amount of quinoa, garnish with a sprig of rosemary. Enjoy!
