Directions Quinoa Pilaf With Mushrooms
Directions
-
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and swirl olive oil around the inside of the pan to coat. Cook shallot in the hot oil until translucent, about 3 minutes, stir in cremini mushrooms, cooking and stirring until mushrooms are browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir quinoa, thyme, bay leaf, kosher salt, and black pepper into mushroom mixture. Cook, stirring often, until quinoa gives off a slightly toasted fragrance, about 5 minutes.
Pour vegetable stock into quinoa mixture (stock may spatter a bit), stir to combine. Bring to a full boil, reduce heat to low, and cover pan, simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and fluff quinoa pilaf with a fork, cover pan and let pilaf stand 10 more minutes to steam dry.
