Vegetarian Recipe

If this doesn't make your mouth water, is it fair for me to say you are crazy?
I am a huge fan of mushrooms I used to hate them when I was younger but I grew to love them. Now I cant stop eating them, they are so delicious.

This is Mushroom Quinoa, I love this recipe.

Quinoa if you don't already know, is crazy nutritious. 
1 cup of cooked quinoa has 8 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, 58% manganese... 58%!!!
 30% magnesium, 28% phosphorus,  19% folate,18% copper, 15% iron, 13% zinc, 9% potassium, vitamins B1, B2, B6.

Mushrooms are a source of important minerals such as selenium, ergothioneine, copper, beta-glucans and potassium. They are a antioxidant, help blood pressure, protect body cells from being damaged which could cause heart disease and some cancers. 

To make this delicious dish you will need....

Produce- 1 lb mushrooms ( or as many as you wish )
5 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp thyme, dried

Grains - 
1 cup quinoa

Spices - 
kosher salt and ground pepper

Oils - 
1 tbsp, your choice of oil

Dairy -
2 tbsp parmesan
