Description

Although this dish is known as pilaf in international cuisine, it is prepared more like Italian risotto. It is better to make a salty broth than to salt the grains themselves. If the broth evaporates quickly, don't hesitate to add more broth or water to the plate.

Ingredients

Quinoa - 17.6 oz
Olive Oil - 1 fl oz
Garlic - 3 cloves
Champignons - 7.1 oz
Parsley - ½ bunches
Spanish onions - 1 head
Chicken Broth - 17 fl oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Sauté the finely chopped mushrooms in olive oil until they release a distinct mushroom aroma. Add the onion and cook until it becomes soft but has not started to brown.

Step 2

Add the quinoa and finely chopped garlic to the onions and mushrooms, and sauté for a couple of minutes.

Step 3

Pour in the broth and cook for about fifteen minutes, stirring constantly. Just before the end of cooking, add the chopped parsley. As a nod to the grain's South American origin, you can also add sliced chili peppers.
