balsamic mushrooms with quinoa and garlicky green beans

Step 1/5

• 80 g quinoa

rinse the quinoa then add to a pan of boiling water (roughly 250 ml) and cook on high heat for 2 minutes, then reduce heat to low, put a lid on the pan, and leave to cook while you prepare the rest of the dish

Step 2/5

• 150 g chestnut mushrooms
• olive oil

get a frying pan on medium heat and add in some olive oil followed by the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes

Step 3/5

• 1 tbsp caper
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 3 tsp soy sauce

add the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and capers to the mushrooms and cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring frequently

Step 4/5

• 150 g green beans
• 1 clove garlic

thinly slice up the garlic clove and add to a separate pan with some olive oil, then add in the green beans and pan fry for 5 mins - you may also want to add in a splash of water if you like a softer texture

Step 5/5

assemble the dish once the mushrooms, green beans and quinoa are all done cooking
