First off, can you tell I love quinoa? I really do. I cook a few cups each week, and then I just add it to everything. I add it to salads, to stir fry, and today, to mushrooms!
Oh- EMMM- Geee! These were yummy. I made them vegetarian at first, which were good, but I did not use many spices, so they were just so slightly under-flavored. So, when I got home, I used the same stuffing, and then added some ground turkey to it, which added just a bit of extra flavor, kicking them over the top. But really, they are sensational as they are. Try them.
I really love mushrooms. I had these great stuffed mushrooms at a birthday party a few weeks back, and wanted to make my own every since. I love that you can put just about anything in them and they taste awesome. Bacon, sausage, chard, rice, pine nuts, veggies, peppers, and whatever else you have or want or love. Here’s what I used for these:
Ingredients
- 1 c quinoa cooked
- 1 Tbs Olive Oil
- 3 large sweet mini peppers diced
- 1/2 cup onion diced
- 1 cup zucchini diced
- 1/2 cup tomatoes diced
- 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella cubed
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp oregano dried
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1 lb White Mushrooms stems removed
Instructions
- Wash and stem your mushrooms. You can remove the gills too, but I left them in because the stems were big enough.
- Heat olive oil in a medium or large skillet over medium heat. Once heated, add peppers, zucchini and onions, and stir in seasonings. Cook until tender about 5-8 minutes.
- Once vegetables are tender, add in the cup of cooked quinoa, diced tomatoes, and mozzarella.
- Stir together on medium heat for about a minute.
- Remove from heat, and use a spoon to scoop mixture into mushroom caps. Heap them so they are full.
- Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, until mushrooms are cooked through.
