It’s one-pot, creamy, comforting — and packed with protein, thanks to the quinoa. Ingredients: • 1 tbsp butter • 1 small onion, finely chopped • 3–4 garlic cloves, finely chopped • 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped (+ a few extra for topping) • Salt and pepper, to taste • ½ tsp dried oregano • ½ tsp chili flakes • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour • ½ cup water or milk • 2 tbsp cream • 1 cup cooked quinoa • 2–3 tbsp grated cheese Method: 1. Heat butter in a pan. Add onion and garlic, and sauté until the onions turn soft and pink. 2. Add chopped mushrooms and cook until they soften and release moisture. 3. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and chili flakes. 4. Add flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until the raw smell is gone. 5. Pour in water or milk and let it simmer. 6. Stir in cream, followed by cooked quinoa and grated cheese. 7. Mix well, adjust seasoning, and cook for another minute until creamy. 8. Top with sautéed mushrooms if you like, and serve hot!
