INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoon butter ; melted
1 1/2 cup mushrooms ; sliced
1/2 cup onion ; finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
1 clove garlic
salt and pepper
1 cup quinoa

INSTRUCTIONS

In a deep sauté pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter and cook the mushrooms, onion, and thyme until the onion is soft and translucent (about 8 minutes). Add the garlic, season with salt and pepper, and add the quinoa. Stir to coat the quinoa, it should be shiny from the melted butter (add more if needed). Cook, stirring, for a few minutes until the quinoa is opaque and smells nutty.

Add the wine, let it bubble, and reduce by half (about 3 minutes), then add the chicken broth, a ladle at a time. Let the broth get fully absorbed before adding more broth. Once the quinoa is tender and creamy, take off heat and add the remaining one tablespoon of butter and the parm. Stir to combine.
