Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large portobello mushrooms
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 bell peppers
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Brush the portobello mushrooms with the balsamic mixture and set aside to marinate.
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers in a large pot of boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of vegetable broth to a boil. Add 1 cup of quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
- In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened. Stir in the cooked quinoa, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat. Place the marinated portobello mushrooms on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until tender. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Stuff the cooked quinoa mixture into the bell peppers and place them in a baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
- While the peppers are baking, place the grilled portobello mushrooms back on the grill and brush with the remaining balsamic glaze. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side.
- To serve, place a stuffed pepper on each plate and top with a grilled portobello mushroom. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
