Preparation

  1. STEP 1 OF 9

    Rinse the quinoa well under running water. In a small saucepan, bring the water (or broth) to a boil. Add the quinoa, lower the heat, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.

  2. STEP 2 OF 9

    Let it rest covered for a few minutes, then fluff it with a fork.

  3. STEP 3 OF 9

    Put the dried shiitake mushroom slices in a bowl with lukewarm water for at least 20-30 minutes, until softened. Drain and gently squeeze them to remove excess water. Keep the soaking water: strain it and set it aside.

  4. STEP 4 OF 9

    In a pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. If using it, add the chopped garlic and sauté for a few seconds without burning it.

  5. STEP 5 OF 9

    Add the rehydrated shiitake mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until they are tender and lightly golden. If necessary, add a little of the mushroom soaking water to prevent them from drying out too much.

  6. STEP 6 OF 9

    In a bowl, arrange the cooked quinoa as the base. Add the avocado slices or cubes and the sautéed shiitake mushrooms.

  7. STEP 7 OF 9

    Season the bowl with soy sauce. If you like, you can add a teaspoon of lemon juice for a fresh touch.

  8. STEP 8 OF 9

    Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped fresh herbs.

  9. STEP 9 OF 9

    Enjoy your quinoa bowl with shiitake and avocado right away!
