Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large portobello mushrooms
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Clean the portobello mushrooms and remove the stems. Brush both sides of the mushrooms with the balsamic glaze.
- Grill the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until tender, basting with the remaining glaze while grilling.
- While the mushrooms are grilling, rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Fluff the quinoa with a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, place a scoop of quinoa on each plate and top with a grilled portobello mushroom. Drizzle any remaining balsamic glaze over the mushrooms. Enjoy!
