Ingredients

  • 6 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed and gills scraped out
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small zucchini, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated vegan Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the quinoa and vegetable broth in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the quinoa is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
  3. While the quinoa is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini, bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Arrange the portobello mushrooms on a baking sheet, gill side up. Spoon the quinoa and vegetable mixture evenly into each mushroom cap, pressing it down gently to pack it in.
  6. If using, sprinkle the grated vegan Parmesan cheese over the top of each stuffed mushroom.
  7. Bake the stuffed mushrooms for 20-25 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is lightly browned on top.
