Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 medium, diced carrots
• 2 diced celery stalks
• 1.5 cups, chopped mushrooms
• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons, dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 4

Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook for 4-5 more minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown slightly.

Step 5

Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. Drain well and add it to the pan.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine.

Step 7

Season the mixture with paprika, cumin, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and simmer gently for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Fluff the Shplo with a fork, then stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice for a fresh finish.

Step 11

Serve warm as a main dish or a side, and enjoy!
