Once you’ve learned how to cook quinoa and how to roast garlic, this recipe just might be a new favorite for you too. I’m telling you, there is something amazing in the combination. And if you happen to be a mushroom lover too? You’re very likely to love this recipe as well as Mushroom Risotto just as much as I do.

This dish is one of those recipes that adapts easily to whatever you have on hand. Not a fan of mushrooms? Try it with broccoli. Want to add a little protein? It is fantastic with a soft egg on top. For more ways to use that roasted garlic, try this Roasted Garlic and Bacon Guacamole. (This is the recipe that forever changed my opinion of guacamole.)
