Method

Start by washing the quinoa in plenty of cold water. This helps get rid of the saponins that coat quinoa grains, and that can make quinoa bitter if not washed off. Drain the quinoa and set it aside.
Next, prepare the mushrooms. If possible, do not wash them ; instead, clean them with a little brush and kitchen roll, then chop them into cubes about 1 inch x 1 inch (or 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm).
If you do have to wash the mushrooms, do so very quickly, so that they do not become waterlogged, then pat dry them, and them finally cut them up.
Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan (choose one that has a lid) over medium heat.
Add the mushroom pieces and stir fry for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
Add the drained quinoa ad stir fry for a couple of minutes to coat the quinoa, before adding the water.
Cover and bring to the boil, then lower the heat and allow to cook for about 15 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed.
Take the lid off and fluff the quinoa with a fork. Add the crushed garlic and the chopped parsley, season to taste with freshly black pepper, stir through again and serve right away.
