High Protein Mushroom Quinoa “Risotto”

quinoa makes this a higher protein dish than regular risotto 🍄

Ingredients for 2:
🍄 4 oz baby baby bella or shiitake mushrooms, sliced
🍄 2 tbsp diced onion or shallot
🍄 1 large clove garlic, minced
🍄 3/4 cup quick cooking quinoa
🍄 salt & pepper
🍄 1 tbsp olive oil
🍄 2 tbsp parm
🍄 2 cups bone broth (I like bonafide provisions, and this adds extra protein & collagen which is great for gut health)

Directions:

1. In medium pot/ sauce pan, heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion & garlic and sauté until fragrant about 2-3 mins. Season with salt & pepper.
2. Add quinoa and sauté together about 1 min. Zap bone broth in bowl for a minute or so until warm.
3. Add 1/2 cup of broth into quinoa, stir and simmer until liquid has evaporated, about 3 mins. Repeat until quinoa is cooked through and broth is gone, about 10 mins.
4. Add parm to quinoa and stir. Top with mushrooms.

I served with a 5 min salmon & my arugula apple walnut fall salad.

Enjoy!
