Before you start

If you cant'find sunchokes, replace them with small potatoes.

Method

Place the quinoa in a fine strainer and hold it under cold running water until the water runs clear, then drain well. Put the drained quinoa in a pot with the water and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until the grains are translucent and the germ has spiralled out from each grain, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
Meanwhile, put the sunchokes (or small potatoes) in another pot, cover with lightly salted water then bring to a boil. Boil until the sunchokes are tender, about 10 min. Drain the sunchokes, then slice them about ½ cm (¼ in) thick. Set aside.
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water then bring to a boil. Add the kale and cook until just tender, about 3 min. Drain the kale and let cool slightly. Squeeze out any excess liquid then coarsely chop and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the shallots then cook, with occasional stirring, until they are softened, about 5 min. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Add the canola oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the sunchokes and cooked until browned on the bottom, about 3 min. Turn the sunchokes and continue cooking until starting to brown, about 2 min. Push the sunchokes to the side of the skillet, then add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté the mushrooms over high heat until browned, about 3 min.
Add the quinoa, kale and shallots. Cook a few minutes until hot, then serve.
