Mushroom, Arugula and Quinoa Bowl Print 15 LikeDislike By Lillian Zhao This is a great alternative to fried rice, and it contains a star ingredient: mushrooms! Mushrooms are available year round but wild varieties are especially abundant in Autumn. All mushrooms contain numerous cancer fighting compounds including beta-glucans, specifically lentinan, which seems to stimulate immune responses leading to cancer cell death. Andean superfood, quinoa, has lately been in the spotlight for its high protein content. Together, mushrooms and quinoa make a great team. Shallots, garlic, and thyme compliment the woodsy flavor of mushrooms, while the sherry (or apple cider vinegar) brightens the quinoa up. This recipe emerged with the desire to make a side dish, that can also double as a main. So serve alongside a nice pan-fried piece of fish, or just fill up your bowl and enjoy!

Amanda Bontempo November 25, 2014 at 9:07 amOf course you can use farro or wild rice, Alivia! Hello Thanksgiving side dish! You can even use spinach in place of the arugula to stand up to the sturdier flavors of those winter grains. Scoop small amount over baby arugula or spinach to bring to work. Let us know how it comes out! Reply ↓
