Repeat process with another 2 cups (500ml) stock and cook for 10 minutes or until stock is evaporated and quinoa is al dente. Remove from heat and stir through mustard, parmesan and remaining 1 cup (250ml) stock. Set aside for 5 minutes.

To make the gremolata, combine hazelnuts, parsley and lemon zest with remaining garlic. Stir through olive oil. Top risotto with gremolata to serve.
