Cooking Instructions
1.
Heat Vegetable Broth (1 cup) to a simmer in a small pot. Stir in Quinoa (1/2 cup), reduce heat to a steady simmer, cover and cook for about 18 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
2.
In a small bowl whisk together juice from Lemon (1), Olive Oil (1 Tbsp), Dijon Mustard (2 tsp), Fresh Thyme (2 tsp), Kosher Salt (as needed) and Ground Black Pepper (as needed). Set aside.
3.
In a medium skillet, heat remaining Olive Oil (1 Tbsp). Once hot, add Mushrooms (2 3/4 cups) and cook on medium-high for 3-4 minutes until starting to turn golden.
4.
Add Garlic (3 cloves), Shallot (1), Fresh Thyme (2 tsp). Cook, stirring often until garlic and shallots have softened, another 2-3 minutes.
5.
Fluff quinoa with a fork and add to mushrooms, stirring to combine. Season lightly with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).
6.
Add Arugula (2 cups) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until starting to soften and wilt. Remove from heat and stir in dressing.
7.
Divide into 2 bowls and top with Parmesan Cheese (to taste) and Pine Nuts (4 Tbsp).
Author's Notes
I used pine nuts here, but cashews are also wonderful. To quickly toast nuts, heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add nuts and toss or stir occasionally until golden.
