Instructions

Step 1

In a saucepan, heat 3 cups of water. Drop in bouillon cube and stir to dissolve. Keep warm.

Step 2

In another heavy-based saucepan, sweat the onions in olive oil. Add the mushrooms and stir fry for about two minutes. Stir in the quinoa. Cook until grains are coated in oil and toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and stir until the alcohol has evaporated.

Step 3

Add in the stock ladle by ladle, stirring continuously until absorbed (about 25 minutes). The quinoa grains should be swollen and tender with a slight crunch (al dente). Season with herb salt and take off the heat.

Step 4

Fold in the cream and parmesan cheese (this step is called mantecare). The risotto should be quite moist but not soupy.

Step 5

Serve with a sprinkle of parmesan and parsley.
