Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for a vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it’s translucent. Throw in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and diced zucchini, and continue to sauté for 5-7 minutes until they’re tender.
- Stir in the rinsed quinoa and let it toast for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, and bring everything to a boil. Reduce the heat and cover, letting it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the quinoa is cooked and has absorbed most of the broth.
- Once all the liquid has been absorbed, remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for that extra pop and flavor!
