Dinner Tonight: Quinoa With Chard And Mushrooms Recipe

• 1 cup quinoa
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound Swiss chard, chopped
• Small pinch red pepper flakes (to taste)
• 1 clove garlic, sliced
• 12 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
• 1/2 ounce Parmesan shavings (carefully use a vegetable peeler)

1. Combine the quinoa is a saucepan with 2 cups water with a good pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 10-15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and tender.
2. 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.
3. 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 the thyme and heat through. Stir in the quinoa and divide among 4 bowls or plates. Top with shaved Parmesan.
