Roasted Mushrooms with Herby Quinoa

Have you ever tried roasted Mushrooms? Any sort of mushrooms - Baby Bella or Button or Portobello or white button mushrooms when roasted tastes so good. Juicy and smooth on the inside and slightly sweet and rich on the outside. Just add a splash of Balsamic Vinegar and make it taste even better.

I have always loved Mushrooms. The intense meaty and earthy taste of cremini mushrooms leaves you craving for more. Try some of my other favorite recipes with Mushrooms.

How to make Roasted Mushroom and Herby Quinoa

Step 1: Coat Mushrooms and Get them roasted

Place Mushrooms in a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Coat them with olive oil, Salt, Pepper, and Italian Seasoning. Place it in the oven preheated at 425°F for 15-20 minutes or until they get roasted.

Step 2: Cook Quinoa

First, soak quinoa in cool water for 5-minutes. Sieve it using a fine mesh. Soaking improves its texture and removes the bitter outer coating - saponin.

Place quinoa in a skillet. Toast for about a minute until it turns nutty and lightly dark.

Once your quinoa is toasted add cooking liquid. Water or Chicken stock or vegetable stock.

The amount of cooking liquid you add, totally depends on the quantity of quinoa you are using.

After cooking quinoa multiple times, I've observed that for every 2 cups of quinoa, I need about 1 3/4 cup of water. See my Cilantro Lime Quinoa recipe and you'll know how it's done.

First, bring the liquid to a boil. Then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 13-15 minutes until all of the water gets soaked.

Step 3: Sear Quinoa with Herbs

In a separate pan heat some olive oil. As soon the oil shimmers add minced cloves of garlic, Italian herbs, and chopped parsley. Sear until the garlic becomes fragrant.

Add green onion, salt and pepper, and cooked quinoa. Stir lightly.

Step 4: Squeeze lemon juice and serve

Finally, squeeze lemon juice and sprinkle some freshly shredded parmesan cheese. Stir lightly. And, then serve with roasted mushrooms.

Variations

  • Chickpeas - You can add some roasted chickpeas for a nutty and meaty taste
  • Lentil - You can add some cooked lentils along with quinoa for a hearty meal.
  • Brown Sugar - If you want you can add a teaspoon of brown sugar while roasting mushrooms. It will get you a gorgeous golden brown color.
  • Onion Powder - You can add a teaspoon of Onion Powder while making quinoa.
