Savory quinoa-stuffed mushrooms with onions, olives, greens, and Parmesan - ideal for any party!
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 large onions, chopped, divided
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon water, or as needed
  • 12 large mushrooms, stemmed and diced
  • cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons chopped Kalamata olives, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped spinach leaves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped arugula
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeno peppers
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
  • 1. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring chicken broth to a boil. Stir in quinoa and seafood seasoning, season with black pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, approximately 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature for another 15 minutes before serving.
  • Once the quinoa has cooled, warm up 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook 1 chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic until the onion is tender, approximately 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then take it off the heat.
  • Blend the onion mixture in a blender until smooth, adding water as necessary to achieve a paste-like consistency.
  • In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Reserve mushroom caps, sauté stems with the rest of the onion until translucent for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then take off the heat.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and generously coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Mix together cooled quinoa, 4 tablespoons of onion puree, onion-mushroom mixture, olives, spinach, arugula, and jalapeno peppers in a bowl until thoroughly combined to make the stuffing.
  • Fill the mushroom caps with the quinoa mixture and top with Parmesan cheese before transferring them to the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for around 20 minutes until the stuffing is piping hot and the cheese is gooey and melted.
