Herbed Quinoa Pilaf with Mushrooms
Ingredients List
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 small shallot, chopped
-
½ cup thinly sliced cremini mushrooms
-
1 ½ cups quinoa, rinsed and drained
-
½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
-
1 bay leaf
-
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
-
freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
3 cups vegetable stock
Instructions
-
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and coat the bottom with olive oil. Sauté the shallot in the hot oil until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the cremini mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the quinoa, thyme, bay leaf, kosher salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the quinoa releases a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes.
-
Pour in the vegetable stock, stirring to combine (expect a little splatter). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 15 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and cover again. Let the pilaf sit for an additional 10 minutes to steam and dry out before serving.
