This is another side dish I served back in December. I’ve held off on posting it because it’s missing something and I can’t really put my finger on it. Quinoa bland and so are mushrooms so the dish needs something to add flavor to it. The garlic helps, but it’s not enough to really make the dish wow. It’s good, just needs something to boost it.
