🧑‍🍳 Free Recipe:

🥣 Looking for a gluten-free alternative to stuffing?

Jo’s quinoa pilaf recipe is naturally gluten free and a good source of protein. Perfect for holiday guests who want something warming and nutritious. Serve it as an enticing side to our gluten-friendly Mushroom Lentil Loaf and our other gluten-friendly Thanksgiving options.

Quinoa Pilaf

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa
2 cups water 
1 tablespoon olive oil 
1/3 cup chopped onions or green onions 
1 cup sliced mushrooms 
1 small carrot, grated 
½ cup frozen peas 
¼ cup chopped parsley 
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Rinse the quinoa well and drain in a fine strainer.
2. In a medium pot, bring the water to a boil then add the quinoa.
3. Cover and turn down to simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.
4. In a medium skillet, heat the oil and sauté the onions and mushrooms 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Add carrot and peas to the sauté pan, cover, turn off heat, and let sit until the carrot and peas have been heated through.
6. Stir vegetables into the quinoa.
7. Add the parsley and season to taste.

Baker’s Note: Add any vegetables or herbs you prefer.

Saving our Thanksgiving items for December holidays?

Menu items that work best if you’re freezing for later (Hanukkah, Christmas, New Years) include:

• The sides (except the stuffing) and desserts
• Wellington with Shiitake Demi Glacé
• Mushroom Lentil Loaf with White Truffle Mushroom Sauce
• Italian- or corned beef-style seitan for use in your own recipes*

*Hot Tip: If you’re freezing our famous corned-beef or Italian-style seitan slices for say…sandwiches on New Year's Eve, divvy them up into smaller portions and you won’t have to thaw the whole container at once.

And remember wrap everything well or double wrap because freezers are low humidity environments.

Reminder:

Dwell Social once again brings a selection of our Thanksgiving menu to the suburbs!

Perfect if you don’t want to drive to Lakeview for our Thanksgiving pickup. Check their list to see which location is nearest you.
