Recipe yields 16 servings
In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, celery, thyme and garlic and cook until onion is softened.
Add quinoa and stir for about 30 seconds. Add salt, black pepper, wine and vegetable broth and stir to combine.
Bring to a simmer; reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 15 to 20 minutes, or until half the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender.
Add peas, the chopped mint, Parmesan cheese and additional black pepper to taste, and cook, about 3 minutes, until cheese is melted.
Add truffle oil and stir to combine. Garnish with additional mint leaves, if desired.
