Adapted from Serious Eats
Serves 2
Prep Time – 10 mins :: Cooking Time – 30 mins

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup Quinoa Organic
• 2/3 cup Vegetable Broth
• 2 oz Organic Trumpet Royale Mushrooms
• 2 cups Swiss Chard
• 2 tsp Olive Oil
• 2 clove Garlic
• 1 tbsp Parm Cheese

DIRECTIONS
Combine the quinoa is a saucepan with 1.5 cups vegetable stock with a good pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 10-15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and tender.

In the meantime, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chard and red pepper flakes and cook until wilted and tender, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove to a plate.

Add the remaining oil into the skillet and add the garlic over medium heat. When it is slightly golden, add the mushrooms. When they release their moisture, about 3 minutes, season with a pinch of salt and pepper. When they are tender, about 5 minutes, stir in the reserved chard and heat through.

Combine all the ingredients and serve with parm.
