Recipe Introduction

Original Recipe From Eden Organic Foods

List of Ingredients

2 cups Eden Organic Quinoa, washed and drained or Eden Organic Red Quinoa
3 cups water, for cooking quinoa

Gravy Ingredients:
4 cups water
0.88 ounces Eden Whole Shiitake Mushrooms, 1 package
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 cup Eden Organic Kudzu Root Starch, dissolved in 1/3 cup cold water
2 Tablespoons Eden Shoyu Soy Sauce(check gf status), or to taste (be sure to use gf soy sauce)
2 Tablespoons green onions, chopped for garnish



Recipe

Cook quinoa according to package directions.

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil, add the shiitake, cover and simmer 20 minutes.

Remove shiitake, discard stems and slice caps.

Place the shiitake back into the boiling water.

Add onions, and cook another 5 minutes.

Slowly add the dissolved kudzu, stirring constantly to prevent lumping, until thick and translucent.

Add the soy sauce, reduce flame to low, and simmer 2 to 3 minutes.

Serve over quinoa.

Garnish with chopped green onions.

Note from BL: I save stems to use in soups rather than discarding them, but honestly they don't have to be discarded at all.
