Mushroom Garlic Quinoa

Ingredients

• 1 cup white quinoa (yields about 3 cups cooked)
• 1 tbsp olive oil*
• 2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 4-6 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ tsp dried thyme

*May substitute with sacha inchi oil. Due to sacha inchi oil’s sensitivity to heat, we recommend cooking on low heat for 6-8 minutes in Step 2.

Optional

• Salt and pepper to taste
• ​1-2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese to garnish
  (for a healthy alternative, try “cashew cheese“!)
