QUINOA WITH MUSHROOMS

QUINOA PILAF WITH CRIMINI MUSHROOMS
This dish has been a big hit as a side dish at Calhoun. The kids at Calhoun were fascinated to learn that quinoa is not a grain but a seed. It looks like a grain and reacts like a grain when cooked but it is still a seed. You can see the stamen in cooked "grain". It's nutty and delicious as a replacement for rice.

Steps:
- Place a saucepan on high heat and get it hot. Add the olive oil and swirl it around to make sure the entire surface is covered with oil. Add the shallot and sweat (cook until translucent but not brown). Add the crimini mushrooms and cook until brown. Add the quinoa, thyme leaves, bay leaf, kosher salt and black pepper to the pan and stir. Let the ingredients heat up and roast a little to bring out all their fullest flavors. The steam coming up should be very aromatic.
- Slowly and carefully add the vegetable stock (it will spatter because the pan and ingredients are hot). When it comes to full boil, reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover and allow to steam for about 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, turn off the heat, remove lid and fluff the quinoa and then replace the lid and allow to sit for about 10 minutes.
- Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary. Serve.
QUINOA WITH CELERY AND MUSHROOMS
I can just hear someone shouting "Oh, no, not quinoa again," but this is really good. I made it for friends who cannot eat onions or garlic. Looking around for a solution, I found that the freezer had two plastic containers of _Boletus_ mushrooms that I had picked, cooked, and frozen in the summer. If-as is probable-fresh _Boletus_ are not available, use another good mushroom. Even if you don't forage as I do, you will find an expanding selection of flavorful mushrooms in shops-labeled "wild" only to differentiate them from regular mushrooms. They need not be frozen. In fact, they will need to be defrosted if frozen. Don't worry if this makes more than you need. My friends took home the remains, and so will yours.

QUINOA WITH WILD MUSHROOMS AND MIXED SQUASHES
Earthy and hearty, this kind of grain and mushroom dish appeals to me most in the fall, though it can be served any time of year.
Yield serves 4 to 6
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Combine the quinoa and bouillon cube with 2 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a skillet or stir-fry pan. Add the onion and garlic and sauté over medium heat until translucent.
- Add the wine, if using, the squashes, and mushrooms, and sauté over medium-high heat until the squashes are touched with golden spots.
- Stir in the cooked quinoa, followed by the parsley, oregano, and cumin. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for 3 to 5 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper, then serve at once.
- Salads with a little sweetness provide a nice balance to this dish. Try Mixed Greens with Sprouts, Apple, and Daikon (page 179), Fruitful Red Slaw (page 177), or Spinach and Red Cabbage Salad with Oranges and Almonds (page 180). To boost the protein content of the meal, serve with Garlic and Lemon Beans (page 110).
- You can also complete this meal simply with sautéed vegan sausage links (my favorite, as I've mentioned several times, is Tofurky brand) and a salad of greens and tomatoes.

QUINOA LOAF WITH MUSHROOMS AND PEAS
Per Whole Foods website, "Welcome spring--or vegetarian guests--to your table with this delicious main-course recipe that is destined to become a favorite for family and feasts alike. For killer veggie burgers, serve any leftover slices on toasted whole wheat buns with lettuce and spicy mustard." Quinoa can be expensive in chain grocery stores, however they do sell it in bulk at Whole Foods very inexpensively and I have gotten it at Super Walmart as well.
