Quinoa Pilaf?



Mmmm...I have a love for quinoa.  Pronounced (keen-wa).  I'm always looking for a different way to make it.  Tonight was no exception.  I decided to rummage the fridge and create a recipe.

2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups of Quinoa
12 oz of portabella mushrooms sliced
2 green onions (scallions) chopped
2 cloves of garlic minced
1/2 of large vidalia onion sliced
1/2 cup give or take of Locatelli cheese grated
1 circle around the pan of Extra Virgin Olive oil
1 pinch of Morton's Salt with Garlic

Pour chicken broth into saucepan with Quinoa, bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low.  Cook for about 15 mins. 

I first prepared all my ingredients and started with the onions first.  I sweated them out and added the mushrooms and garlic.  I let the mushrooms cook for a bit till they were soft and then added the scallions.  Tossed the cheese into the pan, then  I mixed all of this with the already prepared Quinoa.









YUMMMO!

Yup, that's Pinteresting!
