How To Cook
- Drain the soaked mushrooms, placing the liquid in a large pan, and chop them. Add the stock to the pan too and slowly bring to a gentle simmer.
- Heat half the oil in another large pan, add the mushrooms and sauté over a high heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan, add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the chopped dried mushrooms, garlic, quinoa and rice and stir for 30 seconds. Add the wine and gently simmer, stirring until evaporated.
- Add a ladleful of hot stock and cook, stirring until absorbed. Repeat until the rice is tender and the stock has all been used (15-20 minutes). Stir in the reserved mushrooms, cheese and basil, then serve. http://www.moretomushrooms.com

This was nice, the quinoa gives it an extra texture and it was quite easy to make (my first risotto attempt too as it’s one of the other half’s specialities!) We’ll have it again
