For a richer flavor, try sautéing the mushrooms separately with a splash of balsamic vinegar before adding them to the pilaf. Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster mushrooms. If you don't have Swiss chard, kale or spinach can be used as a substitute. To add a bit of heat, include a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic and onion.

A vibrant and nourishing pilaf that marries the earthy notes of quinoa with the subtle bitterness of chard, complemented by the umami depth of mushrooms and the heartiness of lentils. A symphony of textures and flavors in every bite!
