Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil divided
  • 3 garlic minced, cloves
  • 1 tablespoon ginger fresh, minced
  • 1 cup quinoa well-rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 8 ounces cremini mushroom sliced
  • 1 tablespoons soy sauce or to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon avocado oil over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic. Sauté, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute. Take care not to burn the garlic.
  2. Add quinoa and stir to combine with the ginger and garlic. Add vegetable or chicken broth and water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook all of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  3. While the quinoa is cooking, heat 1 teaspoon avocado oil and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are soft and brown in spots, stirring occasionally. The trick with mushrooms is to cook them in a skillet that is big enough to give the mushrooms to room. If they are too crowded, the mushrooms will begin to release all of their liquid and steam, rather than brown. To optimize the caramelization, do not stir too often.
  4. Stir the mushrooms into the cooked quinoa, along with 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Garnish with diced red bell pepper and serve.
