Preparation

Step 1

An easy, healthy side dish that you’ll want to make with every single meal!


Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms, garlic and thyme, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in quinoa until well combined.

Adding a splash of white wine to the mushroom before adding the quinoa would probably make this divine. Can’t wait to try it out


I added some zucchini to this recipe to make it more of a meal than a side dish and it was perfect with a salad for dinner. I think I will make it as is for my next get together though, since it was so simple and uses ingredients I usually have on hand anyway. Thx so much for this recipe.

I just made this and it was great! I added green peas for a veggie and for color, so good

Very good I actually added some diced onions to the mix as I love onions definitely will be making this again
