Portobello Mushroom Quinoa



1 cup of quinoa
1 and 1/2 cups of vegetable stock
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
2 cloves of garlic (or less if you’re not a big garlic lover)
1/2 a purple onion
1 bunch of asparagus
1/2 pint of portobello mushrooms
1 to 1/2 cup of peas
1 tsp of finely chopped mint or basil
Paprika, salt and pepper to taste

What to do:
1. Cook the quinoa according to instructions.
2. Steam the peas for 2 minutes if frozen; once chilled combine with 1tsp of mint or basil.
3. Chop all the veggies into 1-2″ pieces (roughly all the same size). Cube the tofu.
4. Warm the coconut oil on high. Add the tofu and sprinkle with paprika.
5. Brown the tofu on all sides (2-3 minutes per side).
6. Begin to add in the mixed veggies and stir around with the tofu and coconut oil. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the onion begins to get a little golden around the edges.
7. Mix in the garlic, warming until fragrant and a little browned (1-2 minutes).
8. Add in the peas and stir until everything is combined and warmed.
9. Dish up! 1/2 cup quinoa piled with as much of the veggie mix as you like!
