- ½ cup white button mushrooms, coarsely chopped
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup quinoa, uncooked

Add vegetable brother and quinoa to the same pan (keeping vegetables still in it), and bring mixture to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat to a simmer and cover, cooking about 10 minutes or until there is no more water. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve or leave at room temperature to serve later.
