Instructions

Step 1: Rinse 1 cup quinoa under cold water, then combine with 2 cups almond milk in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté 1/2 cup diced red onion for 3 minutes until translucent, then add 1.5 cups wild mushroom mix and cook for 8 minutes until mushrooms are tender and golden.
Step 3: Stir 1 cup fresh cranberries, 1 tsp fresh thyme, and 1 tbsp lemon zest into the mushroom mixture. Cook for 3 minutes until cranberries burst and sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4: Fluff cooked quinoa with a fork, then mix in 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Divide quinoa between bowls, top with mushroom-cranberry mixture, and serve warm.
