Step by Step Method
Step 1
Mix quinoa, water and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, about 20 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the mushrooms, sweet potatoes, and cayenne pepper; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Cover the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the sweet potato is soft, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water into the skillet as needed to keep the vegetables from drying out and sticking.
Step 5
Divide the quinoa among 4 plates and ladle the vegetables over the quinoa.
Step 6
Sprinkle with almond slivers.
