Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent (4-5 minutes). Add the garlic and quinoa and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted (1-2 minutes).
  2. Add stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the quinoa is almost tender (10-12 minutes). The mixture will still be quite soupy.
  3. Stir in the arugula, carrot, and mushrooms and simmer until the quinoa grains have turned from white to translucent (2-4 minutes)
  4. Stir in the cheese and season with salt and pepper.
