Quinoa Bowl with Sautéed Shiitake and Avocado

Preparation

1. STEP 1 OF 9

   Rinse the quinoa well under running water. In a small pot, bring the water (or broth) to a boil. Add the quinoa, lower the heat, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.

2. STEP 2 OF 9

   Let it rest covered for a few minutes, then fluff it with a fork.

3. STEP 3 OF 9

   Place the dried shiitake mushroom slices in a bowl with warm water for at least 20-30 minutes until they soften. Drain and gently squeeze them to remove excess water. Save the soaking water: strain it and set it aside.

4. STEP 4 OF 9

   In a pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. If using, add the chopped garlic and sauté for a few seconds without burning it.

5. STEP 5 OF 9

   Add the rehydrated shiitake mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until they become tender and slightly golden. If necessary, add a bit of the mushroom soaking water to prevent them from drying out too much.

6. STEP 6 OF 9

   In a bowl, arrange the cooked quinoa as a base. Add the sliced or cubed avocado and the sautéed shiitake mushrooms.

7. STEP 7 OF 9

   Season the bowl with soy sauce. If you like, you can add a teaspoon of lemon juice for a touch of freshness.

8. STEP 8 OF 9

   Sprinkle with sesame seeds and freshly chopped herbs.

9. STEP 9 OF 9

   Enjoy your quinoa bowl with shiitake and avocado immediately!
