2 cups raw quinoa

1
In a saucepan, bring the stock up to a boil and reduce to a simmer while you are working on the other ingredients.
2
Heat a large saute pan with straight sides over high heat.
3
Add the oil and when it starts to shimmer, add about half the mushrooms.
4
You dont want to overcrowd the pan, and the mushrooms should be in a single layer.
5
Leave them for 2 to 3 minutes to develop a nice golden brown.
6
Add 1 tablespoon of butter, season with salt and toss to cook another minute.
7
Remove using a slotted spoon and repeat with the rest of the mushrooms and another tablespoon of butter.
8
Set aside.
9
Reduce heat to medium-low and add shallots and garlic.
10
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until translucent, and then add quinoa.
11
Toast for about a minute and then add the white wine.
12
Let it reduce by half and then stir in about 2 cups of the hot stock.
13
Continue adding stock, a 1/2 cup at a time, stirring in intervals for 15 minutes.
14
Youll need between 4 and 5 cups of stock to achieve a risotto-like texture.
15
Cover for the last 5 minutes.
16
Add in the reserved mushrooms, heavy cream, cheese and season to taste.
17
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs.
