Hazelnut-Truffle Oil Quinoa is an easy recipe, that teams the flavor of truffles with nuts from their favorite tree to grow under. Yeah, I thought I was pretty clever with that one…lol. This vegan quinoa recipe is hearty enough to serve as an entree itself, but pairs nicely with grilled portabella, salmon (as shown here with Maple-Mustard Salmon) or smokey meats.
