Quinoa Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large portobello mushrooms
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms and gently scrape out the gills using a spoon. Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the 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 with a fork and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Add the diced red bell pepper and cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cooked quinoa, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.
- Brush the portobello mushrooms with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the quinoa mixture into the mushroom caps, pressing down gently to pack the filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown.
- Serve the quinoa stuffed portobello mushrooms hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy!
