Ingredients
1 1/2 cups dry quinoa
1/2 onion
2-3 cloves garlic
1 large head broccoli (or 3-4 cups broccoli florets)
8 oz. mushrooms
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar, more for topping
1 tsp. paprika
Salt/pepper
Preparation
Rinse quinoa well.
Cook in 3 cups boiling, salted water for 15-20 minutes, or according to package directions.
Meanwhile, dice onion and mushrooms, mince garlic, and chop broccoli florets.
Preheat oven to 375.
Saute onion and mushrooms with salt over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes or until slightly softened.
Remove any extra liquid from the mushrooms. Steam broccoli for 2-3 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients with the hot quinoa. Mix well.
Add to a lightly sprayed 9x13 baking dish. Spread out mixture evenly and lightly press down. Sprinkle additional cheddar cheese on top.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes.
