Ingredients

Directions

Toast quinoa in a dry saucepan over medium heat, stirring often until it smells nutty, about 5 minutes. Add water and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, potato, cayenne, salt, and black pepper to taste. Cover the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until potato is soft, about 20 minutes. Add a splash of water if needed to keep vegetables from burning.

Spoon vegetable mixture over a bed of quinoa and sprinkle with pecans to serve.
