Quinoa is a staple food in parts of South America.
(Serves: 4)
It is an easily digestible grain which contains more protein than
any other - and almost twice as much as rice. It works well in this
recipe.
Ingredients
300ml boiling water
15g mixed dried mushrooms
900ml chicken or vegetable stock
200g white closed cup mushrooms, sliced
200g brown closed cup mushrooms, sliced
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
175g quinoa
175g risotto rice
100ml dry white wine
25g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp snipped fresh basil leaves
Method
1 Place the dried mushrooms in a bowl, cover with the boiling
water and leave to soak for 10 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid,
and chop the mushrooms.
