Step 1 of 3
Heat 2 tbs of the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add leek and cook for 3 minutes until soft. Add the mushrooms, garlic and thyme. Cook for 3 minutes until mushrooms are golden.
Step 2 of 3
Rinse quinoa under running water and add to vegetables in pan. Stir well to combine. Add the wine to the quinoa mixture and cook, stirring, until the liquid is absorbed. Add the chicken stock and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until tender.
