Serves 2 as main course or 4 as side dish or starterTo rehydrate porcinis, cover in boiling water and let soften 20-30 minutes. You may use the rehydrating liquid to cook the quinoa (will give richer flavor), but make sure to strain the liquid through a coffee filter to remove any sand or residue.In a heavy nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat, lightly toast the quinoa until slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Pour in 1 cup of the liquid, stirring as you go. Add The rehydrated porcini and stir frequently.Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat and add the fresh mushrooms and the onion, cooking until lightly browned and softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic about half way through.When the liquid has been absorbed by the grains, add more of the liquid a little at a time, continuing until the grains have absorbed it all and are tender but al dente, about 15 - 25 minutes total.Stir in the mushroom mixture, sour cream and nutmeg; cover and remove from heat.Let stand for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork, garnish with the basil and serve.
