Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced shallots
8 ounces mushrooms, wiped clean and finely chopped
1 cup cooked quinoa
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream, half and half or evaporated low fat milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
Directions
- Heat the butter in a medium saucepan. When the foaming subsides, cook the shallots until tender. Add the mushrooms, cover and cook for 5 minutes or until tender. (If the mushrooms begin to stick to the bottom of the pan, then add some broth.) Add the quinoa and broth and bring the liquid to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in cream if you wish. Bring back up to a simmer, remove from heat and stir in the dill.
