Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portobello mushrooms
- 0.5 cup (dry) Quinoa
- 1 cup (cooked or canned and drained) Black beans
- 2 cups (fresh) Spinach
- 0.33 cup (chopped) Walnuts
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Carefully clean the Portobello mushroom caps with a damp paper towel and remove the stems and gills with a spoon. Set aside.
Cook the quinoa according to the package instructions. This will yield approximately 1 cup of cooked quinoa.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, sautéed spinach, walnuts, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil lightly over the mushroom caps and place them on a baking sheet, gill side up.
Evenly divide the stuffing mixture among the mushrooms and gently press the mixture into each cap.
Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is heated through.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. These stuffed mushrooms pair well with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables.
