Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 4 cups sliced crimini ('baby bella') mushrooms
  • ½ large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • salt to taste
  • ¼ cup red wine
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

Step 1
Mix water, quinoa, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, and chicken bouillon granules in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until white threads appear on the quinoa grains, about 15 minutes.

Step 2
Melt 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute mushrooms, onion, and red bell pepper in hot oil until softened, 5 to 7 minutes; season with salt.

Step 3
Stir red wine and soy sauce into the vegetable mixture; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the liquid is reduced, about 10 minutes.

Step 4
Mix quinoa and vegetables in a large serving bowl; top with Parmesan cheese.

Cook’s Note:

Omit chicken bouillon and replace with salt to make it a vegetarian dish.
