Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 medium, diced carrots
- 2 diced celery stalks
- 1.5 cups, chopped mushrooms
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons, dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook for 4-5 more minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown slightly.
Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. Drain well and add it to the pan.
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine.
Season the mixture with paprika, cumin, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and simmer gently for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff the Shplo with a fork, then stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice for a fresh finish.
Serve warm as a main dish or a side, and enjoy!
