Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the quinoa
- Finely chop, press, or grate the garlic.
- Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions, keeping the white and green parts separate. Set aside the green parts for finishing the quinoa.
- Thinly slice the cremini mushrooms.
- Rinse the quinoa.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Stir in the garlic and white parts of the scallions and cook until starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cremini mushrooms and quinoa and toast until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the porcini powder and 1½ cups [3 cups] water, season lightly with salt, and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, 20 to 22 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm. Meanwhile, prepare the shiitake mushrooms.
2
Soften the shiitake mushrooms
In a medium sauce pot, combine the shiitake mushrooms and 2½ cups [5 cups] water. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are softened and the liquid is reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the mushrooms; discard the stems and thinly slice the caps. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients.
3
Prep the remaining ingredients; finish the quinoa
- Trim the root ends and any coarse stems from the watercress.
- Cut the lemon into wedges for garnish.
To the pan with the quinoa, stir in the shiitake mushrooms, watercress, peas, and green parts of the scallions. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper and as much tamari as you like.
Serve
Transfer the quinoa to individual bowls, garnish with the lemon wedges, and serve any remaining tamari on the side.
