Thinly Sliced Trumpet Mushrooms and Red Onions over cooked Quinoa

Are you curious about what dishes you can make with trumpet mushrooms? I've got a really simple recipe idea for you. I had a bunch of them in my fridge so I made a pretty basic veggie forward lunch which was not only highly nutritious but also tasty.

Equipment

  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Large pot
  • 1 Small Sauce Pan
  • 1 Cutting Board

Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 10 oz Trumpet Mushrooms sliced from top to bottom as thinly as possible
  • 1/4 Red Onion sliced in a cross section style as thinly as possible
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup of Tri-colored Quinoa
  • Salt, Pepper, Red Pepper Flakes to taste
  • Scallions and Black Sesame Seeds for garnish optional

Instructions
 

Instructions:

  • Slice each trumpet mushroom (the long way) as thinly as possible. They will cook down a lot and we want each sliver to absorb as much oil and heat as possible. Also slice your onion (cross section wise) as thinly as possible.
  • Cook half a cup of quinoa according to package instructions, make sure to add salt to the boiling water (approximately 20 minutes)
  • While quinoa is cooking warm 1 tbsp of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Place the mushroom in the pan and add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil on top. Stir frequently until the mushrooms start turning a lighter brown color but are not seared yet (approximately 8 minutes.) Add salt and pepper and stir again.
  • Add the onions to the mushroom pan and cook while stirring frequently until the onions are soft and the mushrooms are seared and browned. You don't want to scorch the mushrooms but I like to eat them as cooked, crispy and browned as possible (approximately 12 more minutes.) When you are satisfied with the level your veggies have been cooked you can add more salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Serve the mushrooms and onions over quinoa and garnish with scallions and black sesame seeds.

Notes

Hope you enjoy!!
Notes: I like to keep the seasonings basic to bring out the flavor of the mushrooms but might experiment in the future with different kinds of seasonings so feel free to do that as well.
