Recipe Summary Quinoa With Asparagus, Shiitake, Mushrooms And Veggie Tenders

Dinner is near at hand with quick-cooking quinoa. It's delicious with mushrooms, asparagus, veggie tenders and a hint of lemon.

Ingredients | Shiitake Mushroom Dressing

1 (200 g) package Casbah® Quinoa

1 tablespoon Spectrum® Canola Oil

4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps sliced

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1 ½ cups Imagine Organic Vegetable Broth

1 package Europe's Best® Asparagus

1 (170 gram) package Yves Veggie Cuisine® Chick'n or Beef Veggie Tenders

1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon rind

Directions

Rinse quinoa with water; drain. Set aside.

In a large non-stick skillet or pot with a lid, heat oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and garlic; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.

Stir in quinoa and broth. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 12 minutes. (Do not lift lid or stir while cooking.)

Cut asparagus into 3 pieces each. Stir asparagus, veggie tenders and lemon rind into quinoa. Cook for about 3 minutes, until heated through.

Quinoa has a natural protective coating called 'saponin' that must be rinsed off before cooking as it can give a bitter taste. As it cooks, the quinoa germ separates from the kernel creating tiny white rings. This is a sign that it is fully cooked.

Variation: When ready to serve, stir in 1/4 cup (50 mL) toasted walnut pieces or toasted almonds.
