Celine’s One Pot Quinoa with Zucchini & Mushrooms

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced
  • 1 medium *zucchini, chopped into small cubes
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, more to taste
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup ham, chopped or cubed (optional)

Instructions

1

In a saucepan, melt the butter and oil. Add onions and stir. Place the lid on the pot for about two minutes (this encourages softening).

2

Add the mushrooms and zucchini and stir. Place the lid on the pot and allow the vegetables to soften. Stir occasionally for 5 minutes.

3

Add the quinoa and broth and cook, covered, until all the liquid is absorbed, approximately 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat.

4

Add the eggs, one at a time, and stir to combine.

5

Add the ham and cheese and stir until the cheese is fully melted.

6

Taste; add salt and pepper, as needed.

Notes

Raw zucchini can also be grated and added into the hot mixture instead of added during the cooking process.
