Ingredients

    Instructions

    Step 1

    In a saucepan, combine water, quinoa, a touch of coconut oil, and chicken bouillon granules. Let it reach a gentle boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer until you notice delicate white threads adorning the quinoa grains, which should take around 15 minutes.

    Step 2

    Over at a skillet, melt a generous amount of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Toss in mushrooms, onion, and red bell pepper, sautéing them in the fragrant oil until they soften beautifully, which should take roughly 5 to 7 minutes. Don't forget to sprinkle a pinch of salt for flavor!

    Step 3

    Introduce a splash of red wine and a swirl of soy sauce into the pan of sautéed veggies, allowing the mixture to bubble gently. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it cook down until the liquid thickens and intensifies, which should take approximately 10 minutes.

    Step 4

    Now, in a large serving bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with the flavorful sautéed vegetables. To finish off this delightful dish, sprinkle a generous amount of Parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy the symphony of flavors and textures in each delectable bite!
