LEMON HERB QUINOA
A light yet flavorful quinoa dish that goes great with fish or chicken! I invented it on-the-fly one day when I couldn't find quite what I was looking for. For a stronger flavor, add extra lemon juice and herbs. For a more al dente quinoa, remove the lid half way through the cooking time and continue to cook uncovered until most of the water is absorbed.

Steps:
- Add butter to large saucepan on low heat. Add green onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add the quinoa and stir to coat it with butter.
- Add the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, until most of the stock has been absorbed, stirring frequently.
- Add mushrooms and continue cooking for 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until there is no more liquid.
- Toss in a pinch of pepper and stir in the parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give your quinoa dish the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Rinse the quinoa before cooking. This will help to remove any saponins, which are bitter-tasting compounds that can be found on the surface of quinoa.
- Cook the quinoa according to the package directions. Quinoa is typically cooked in a ratio of 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water. Bring the quinoa and water to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and all of the water has been absorbed.
- Fluff the quinoa with a fork before serving. This will help to separate the grains and make the quinoa light and fluffy.
- Season the quinoa to taste. You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or other seasonings to taste.
- Serve the quinoa as a side dish or main course. Quinoa is a versatile grain that can be served with a variety of dishes. It can also be used in salads, soups, and stews.
Conclusion:
Quinoa is a healthy and delicious grain that is easy to cook and can be used in a variety of dishes. With its mild flavor and fluffy texture, quinoa is a great choice for a side dish or main course. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a more elaborate dish for a special occasion, quinoa is a great option.
