Quinoa and Chard Pilaf

I had to use up some chard in a major way. See a trend? Yes, I tend to buy too many things...

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup uncooked quinoa
1 cup dry lentils + ~4c water/broth
8 oz mushrooms, chopped (I used dehydrated mixed wild mushrooms)
~1 cup water
Bunch of chard (remember it reduces when cooked)

1. Cook lentils in a pot w/ vegetable broth as directed on package \
2. Saute onions, garlic, and mushrooms - mix in quinoa - cook 5 minutes in large pot
3. Add above lentils to above pot - cover and cook 20 minutes.
4. Add water as needed so mixture doesn't stick.
5. Remove from heat. Shred chard and gently mix into pot. Cover and sit for 5 minutes.
