Story

Mixing two great flavors - spicy arugula and earthy mushrooms - guarantees this dish to be a real winner. The quinoa adds even more for a dish that can also pass as a main course. If you are a vegetarian, or you are serving people who eat a vegetarian diet, quinoa is a perfect solution for providing a good source of protein, as well as a ton of other nutrients. You'll also get a texture that you will truly enjoy.
