Ingredients
1
tbsp
sunflower oil
3
cloves
garlic
sliced
600
ml
boiling water mixed with 1 tbsp bouillon powder
250
g
quinoa
200
g
wild mushrooms (some whole
some sliced or cubed)
3
tbsp
butter
20
g
hard goat’s cheese
grated
10
g
flat leaf parsley
chopped
Instructions
Sauté 1 clove of the garlic in a pan with the sunflower oil for about 1 minute.
Add the stock and the quinoa and after about 5 minutes add about half the mushrooms.
In a separate pan melt about 1 tbsp of butter and sauté the rest of the garlic until soft before adding the rest of the mushrooms for about 3-4 minutes.
After 10 minutes of cooking, the quinoa should have absorbed all of the water – keep stirring then add a further 50mls or so of boiling water.
Continue to stir and when it’s almost cooked add the goats cheese and take off the heat and allow to sit for about 5 minutes.
In a small pan, melt the remaining butter and toss in the parsley.
To serve, add the softened mushrooms and poor over the parsley butter.
