Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quinoa and Swiss Chard Pilaf.
Step 1
To start your delicious quinoa and lentil dish, grab a large pot and warm up some olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the diced onion and minced garlic.
Step 3
Sauté them together for about five minutes, or until the onion turns tender and fragrant, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 4
Next, add the rinsed quinoa, canned lentils, and chopped mushrooms to the pot.
Step 5
Give everything a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are well combined, creating a colorful medley.
Step 6
Now, pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a lively boil.
Step 7
When it starts bubbling, cover the pot and lower the heat, allowing it to simmer gently for 20 minutes.
Step 8
After the time is up, take the pot off the heat and prepare to add a burst of color and nutrition.
Step 9
Shred the Swiss chard and fold it into the quinoa mixture with care.
Step 10
Cover the pot once more and let it sit for an additional five minutes, giving the chard time to wilt and blend beautifully with the other ingredients.
