Ingredients

4 large Portobello mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, red onion, garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Place the cleaned Portobello mushrooms on a baking sheet, gill side up. Generously spoon the quinoa mixture into each mushroom cap, pressing down gently to pack the filling.
Drizzle a little olive oil over the stuffed mushrooms and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm, garnished with additional parsley and toasted nuts if using.
