Mushroom and quinoa medley

I created this mixed rice pilaf recipe for my husband who loves mushrooms. I mixed quinoa, black rice, and basmati rice this time. I'm sure any combination of grains would be tasty. Next time I think I will try adding some sprouted wheat berries.

Here's what to do. It's very simple.

3/4 cup quinoa

1/4 cup black rice

1/4 cup basmati rice

Rinse and place in rice cooker with 2 1/2 cups of water. Add 1 Tbs olive oil, 1/2 tsp veggie broth powder (or salt). Cook!

Meanwhile, chop into small pieces 

1-2 portobello mushroom caps

1/2 of a large red onion 

1/2 inch piece of ginger (about 1Tbs minced ginger)

1-2 green chiles

Heat pan and add a spoon of olive oil. Add ginger, onion, few curry leaves and cumin seeds. Once fragrant, add mushrooms and allow to cook on medium until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp salt, pinch of garlic powder. 

Once rice is finished cooking, add into skillet with mushroom mixture and thoroughly combine. Garnish with some chopped fresh cilantro & enjoy the healthy whole grain and mushroom medley!
