I’ve been on a mushroom kick lately, they are my favorite vegetable, not technically, but still. My husband on the other hand hates mushrooms, hence I’ve been cooking with mushrooms before the big move. Quinoa Risotto has been on my list for a while now, and the best part is they cook in half the time it takes traditional risotto. For those of you who don’t like quinoa, I assure you, you won’t taste it. Quinoa doesn’t stand up to the bold flavors in this recipe, such as mushrooms, white wine, truffle oil, and manchego cheese. My version of Mushroom Quinoa Risotto is much healthier than the real thing as it doesn’t use butter and crazy amounts of oil and cheese. A beautiful, elegant dish that’s perfect for a special date night or a girls night in. Don’t forget that glass of wine! Enjoy!
