Sue Cadwell's Portabella Quinoa

ingredients

1 cup quinoa
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups diced onions
2 1/2 cups diced portabella mushrooms
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
Vegetable stock
1-2tbs minced sun dried tomatoes
fresh minced basil
fresh minced parsley

directions

Rinse quinoa under cold water. Add 1 1/2 cups cold water and quinoa to small pot and cover. Bring to a boil and turn down to lowest heat possible. Cook 5-10 minutes until water is absorbed and grain is puffed. Heat olive oil in saute pan. Add onions and saute 5 minutes on medium low heat. Add mushrooms, garlic and cayenne. Add vegetable stock as needed to keep from sticking to the pan. Cook until onions are carmelized. Mix quinoa and mushroom mixture. Add in tomatoes and fresh herbs and cheese, salt and pepper to taste.
