Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup quinoa rinsed
- ½ cup white wine
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1.5 cups frozen peas thawed
- ½ cup soy milk or non-dairy milk of choice
- salt + pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet or cast iron pan. Then add the sliced mushrooms and sauté them until reduced. You should not need any oil as the mushrooms will release a lot of moisture as they cook.
- Once reduced, add the garlic, stirring often for about 30 seconds. Then add the quinoa, stirring and toasting for another 30 seconds. Next, add the white wine, and stir constantly until mostly absorbed.
- Gradually add the broth, approx. ½-3/4 cup at a time, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is mostly absorbed. Continue adding broth in this pattern. Once absorbed, add more until the quinoa is cooked through. This process will take around 15-20 minutes. (Don't dump all the broth into the quinotto at once.)
- Then turn off the heat and stir in the peas, milk, and lemon juice. Taste for salt and pepper, and adjust to your taste. Depending on the saltiness of your broth, you may or may not need to add salt.
- Serve your quinotto with vegan parmesan cheese and/or red pepper flakes.
Notes
- Leftovers keep refrigerated for 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop, adding a little water or broth to the pan to loosen up the quinotto as needed.
- Use wine that tastes good! If you won’t drink it, don’t cook with it either.
- Do NOT add all the broth at once to your pan of quinotto. Add it slowly, as directed and add more only once mostly absorbed.
