How to make
Asparagus Quinoa Risotto
    QUINOA
  • Once quinoa is washed, place it in a sauce pan with broth, oil, and sea salt, cover, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn to low, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
    VEGETABLES
  • Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add oil. Saute mushrooms until all the moisture is cooked off, and the mushrooms start to brown a little. Add the leeks and cook about 5 minutes. Add sliced asparagus, and cook until barely tender. Add the sea salt and cook for 1 more minute.
    FINISHING
  • Combine the remaining ingredients in a little bowl, and add to the cooked vegetable mixture. Stir to combine. Add the cooked vegetable mixture to the quinoa and mix. Serve.
