How to Prepare Mushroom Quinoa Risotto [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Heat coconut oil in a large sauté pan over medium. Add the onions, cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes until translucent
  2. Throw in the mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add turmeric, saffron, garlic, sage, sea salt, and pepper, and continue to cook until fragrant and brown around the edges. Reserve 2 tablespoons for topping if desired
  3. Add quinoa to the same pan to toast. Once the seeds begin to turn brown, add water to deglaze the pan. Stir and add 2 cups of the vegetable stock. Lower heat to simmer and let it cook down uncovered for 5-10 minutes or until all of the liquid has been absorbed
  4. Continue adding stock until there is only one more cup left, then whisk in the last remainder of the stock and the pumpkin puree, and cover with a lid until the rest of the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is fully cooked and fluffy
  5. Mix in the parsley and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Top with reserved mushrooms and garnish as desired.
