Creamy Quinoa Loaf Recipe
Ingredients
½ cup quinoa
¼ cup buckwheat
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
½ Vidalia onion, chopped
Dash of sea salt
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1 Tbsp. vegetable broth (or water)
1 tsp. chopped garlic
½ tsp. Italian seasoning
½ cup vegan Monterey Jack cheese
Dash of white pepper
1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 365°F.
- To cook the grains, place the quinoa and buckwheat in a saucepan with 1 ½ cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat and fluff with a fork.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion for 10 minutes, adding a little salt and stirring occasionally. Add the mushrooms and broth or water and cook for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cooked grains. Add the seasoning, cheese, white pepper, and egg and stir to combine.
- Place in a bread loaf pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden on top. Enjoy!
