Ingredients
  • 1 C regular quinoa
  • 1 C red quinoa
  • 2 tsp Better Than Bouillon
  • 3 C water
  • 1 C spinach, chopped
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 4 mushrooms, chopped
  • ⅓ C fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 Tbs chia seeds
  • ½ C walnuts, chopped (and toasted, if you'd like)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbs lemon juice
Directions
  1. In a medium or large saucepan, whisk together the bouillon and water and then bring to a boil. Add the two quinoas (you can also use tri-colored quinoa if you'd like), stir, reduce heat, and cover. Cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until just a little bit of liquid remains.
  2. Stir in the spinach, green onion, and mushrooms and let cook for a few minutes---just enough for the spinach to wilt and the mushrooms to cook down a little.
  3. Stir in the salt, pepper, chia seeds, and lemon juice.
  4. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley and walnuts. Enjoy!
