Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 small shallot, chopped

  • ½ cup thinly sliced cremini mushrooms

  • 1 ½ cups quinoa, rinsed and drained

  • ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 3 cups vegetable stock

Directions

  1. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and swirl olive oil around the inside of the pan to coat. Cook shallot in the hot oil until translucent, about 3 minutes; stir in cremini mushrooms, cooking and stirring until mushrooms are browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir quinoa, thyme, bay leaf, kosher salt, and black pepper into mushroom mixture. Cook, stirring often, until quinoa gives off a slightly toasted fragrance, about 5 minutes.

  2. Pour vegetable stock into quinoa mixture (stock may spatter a bit); stir to combine. Bring to a full boil, reduce heat to low, and cover pan; simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and fluff quinoa pilaf with a fork; cover pan and let pilaf stand 10 more minutes to steam dry.
