Gochujang Quinoa with fresh thyme

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: mixed greens, olive oil, lemon and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the shallots and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the quinoa and let it gochujang, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the red wine vinegar and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the white wine, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with a handful of herbs and a final crack of pepper.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
