Vegetarian Recipe: Quinoa with Mushrooms, Kale, and Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

1 cup quinoa

2 tbsp olive oil

2 small sweet potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into ¾ inch pieces

10 oz button mushrooms, quartered

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1 bunch kale, stems discarded and leaves torn into 2 inch pieces

¾ cup dry white wine

salt and black pepper

¼ cup grated parmesan (1 oz)

Directions

Place the quinoa and 2 cups water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until water is absorbed, 12 to 15 min.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add sweet potatoes and mushrooms and cook, tossing occasionally, until golden and beginning to soften, 5 to 6 min.

Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min.

Add kale, wine, ¾ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Cook, tossing often, until veggies are tender, 10 to 12 min.

Serve veggies over quinoa and sprinkle with parmesan.

 

This recipe is very flavorful. We really loved it. I wasn’t sure I could make vegetarian meals that taste great and are satisfying. This recipe definitely meets those criteria! You can also serve this over rice with kidney beans. I will be making this one again.
