Description
A comforting and delicious dish combining quinoa, mushrooms, and fresh spinach, perfect for warming up after a long day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 200 g mushrooms, sliced
- 200 g fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water for a few minutes. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the quinoa, reduce the heat, and cover. Simmer for about 15 minutes until tender and water is absorbed.
- While the quinoa cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and tender, stirring occasionally.
- Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the spinach to the skillet. Cook until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Finally, stir in the cooked quinoa, mix well, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Adjust seasonings to taste; adding a squeeze of lemon juice can enhance the flavor. For a richer version, incorporate fresh cheese or grated parmesan at the end.
