Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 medium, diced carrot
- 2 diced celery stalks
- 1 medium, diced zucchini
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 cup, diced mushrooms
- 2 cups cooked quinoa

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced carrot, celery, zucchini, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the diced mushrooms and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, until mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, tomato paste, and soy sauce, mixing well to combine all ingredients.
Season the mixture with dried thyme, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of spices.
Continue cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve as desired or use as a filling for vegetables or baked potatoes.
