Ingredients

• 12 large portobello mushrooms
• 1 cup quinoa (rinsed)
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup spinach, chopped
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• ½ cup feta cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Cooking Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer covered for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.

While the quinoa cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Stir in the chopped spinach along with the smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper, cooking until the spinach has wilted.

Once the quinoa is done, combine it with the sautéed vegetables and mix thoroughly. If desired, add crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor.

Now, prepare the portobello mushrooms by gently removing the stems. Place them stem-side up on a baking sheet and fill each mushroom cap generously with the quinoa mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and slightly golden. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
