Replace the rice in risotto with quinoa! This is a great way to vary your grains while keeping your meals balanced. In addition to being vegetarian (no animal flesh), this recipe is also vegan (no animal-derived products). The cream, usually made from cow's milk, has been replaced with soy cream (a plant-based alternative). Add some Paris mushrooms to this preparation, and your guests won't notice a thing ;-)

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup white quinoa
• 2/3 cup red quinoa
• 1 onion
• 7 ounces mushrooms
• 3/4 cup soy cream
• olive oil
• 1 stock cube
• 2 cups water

Materials

• pot, spoon

Preparation

• In a pot, sauté the chopped onion in hot olive oil. Then add the chopped mushrooms and cook them for a few minutes.
• Then add the quinoa and sauté quickly.
  
• Cover with water, add the stock cube, and let it simmer for 40 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
• Once the quinoa has absorbed all the water, add the soy cream and mix well. Let it simmer for 5 minutes until the risotto reaches your desired texture.
  
• And there you have it, your quinoa risotto with mushrooms is ready!

Observations

Quinoa: You can use only red or white quinoa, or choose to use a mix of quinoa.
Soy cream: If you consume dairy products, you can use traditional liquid cream.
