Garlic Mushroom Quinoa

quinoa

olive oil

cremini mushrooms (thinly sliced)

garlic (minced)

thyme

salt and black pepper (to taste)

Parmesan

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 Parmesan, if desired.

I just made this recipe and what an incredible taste! What a taste sensation! Thank you so much for the recipe.

This is delicious and so easy to make! I eat it as a main course with a spinach salad beside it.

Very tasty.  Made it and added a splash of lemon juice at the end for a little tongue dazzle.  Definitely making this again. Thanks

Made this as a side for baked salmon and it worked nicely. I did have to add a lot of salt because the quinoa recipe on the box used no salt and it was pretty tasteless when I mixed it with the mushrooms. But after adding the salt it was fine. Next time I'll probably add more garlic and other herbs as reviewers have suggested.  Butr this is a good alternative to rice.

it really also tastes good if you pour over some white dry wine at the end of cooking. Absolutely wonderful!

I made this tonight, and my non-vegan family members enjoyed it almost as much as I did. I made it wtih half vegetable broth and half water and stirred in two tablespoons of nutritional yeast in the final two minutes that the quinoa was cooking. When I combined the quinoa with the sauteed garlic and mushrooms, I added three tablespoons of walnut pieces and stirred it all together. An excellent dish!

Was wondering about nutritional info as well, says healthy. Ta

Loved it! We used brown rice cooked in chicken broth, and about 2 c. chopped mushrooms for 1 c. uncooked rice. Will make again with all kinds of grains, like millet!

This is a go to absolutely love it! 
Do you have the nutrition facts on a serving? 

Easy and super delicious! Made it a few times because it’s really tasty.

It's a delicious dish, and very healthy for people with diabetes like me. 

Thank You,  Kenny :)

Hi! I have made this recipe exactly as directed and it always turns out perfectly, like all recipes on this site. I only have Shitake and oyster mushrooms this time around...any idea if thyme will still work? Thank you!

Wonderful! I added some roasted vegetables and spicy pepper paste for a bit of a kick. I served it with avocado for a more complete meal. Simply but very filling! 

This is an inspiring recipe; we typically eat quinoa plain! My intention was to make the recipe in one pot- sauté veggies first And then add in the quinoa and broth. However,  as I poured in what I had read as “bone broth” (big bold lettering), it was clearly a creamed soup (broccoli cheddar soup made with bone broth). The dish does have a good flavor but the calorie count is outrageous! The next time I prepare this great recipe I will put on my eyeglasses! 
I really like your site and have made many of your recipes over the years; thank you.

Easy and tasty. Great side dish or main meal.
