My wife wanted to try something new, oh and she said no MEAT! What the hell, no meat are you kidding me I eat meat you know cow, pig, chicken, duck and lamb. Also it had to have quinoa, so a mushroom and spinach quinoa was made.
Ingredients-
8oz Baby Bella Mushrooms sliced
8oz White Mushrooms sliced
2 Cups Fresh Spinach chopped
1 Green Pepper 1/2 inch dice
2 Tbl Garlic minced
2 Cups Chicken Stock
1 1/2 Cup Quinoa(it was successfully domesticated 3,000 to 4,000 years ago for human consumption)
1 Tbl Thyme
1 Cup Water
2 Tbl Oil
Directions-
1. In a small pot on medium heat put in water and bella mushrooms, bring to a simmer for 7-9 minutes.
2. In a large pot over medium high heat add oil, white mushrooms and peppers saute for 6-8 minutes.
3. Add garlic and thyme to the large pot and saute for 2-3 minutes. Next add the bella mushrooms and the water from the small pot, add the chicken stock and the quinoa. Bring back up to a boil, turn heat to low and cover pot let it cook for 15 minutes.
4. After the 15 minutes add the spinach and cover the pot and cook for anouther 5 minutes. Serve as a side dish(my wife ate it as her main meal and loved it) hopefully with a bog porshin of meat..enjoy!
