INGREDIENTS
1 Portobello Mushroom Cap (120g)
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (93g)
1/3 cup cooked Quinoa (60g)
1 cup Chickpeas (164g, canned, drained)
1 mix roasted vegetables (150g) - bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes
2 Egg Whites (66g)
2 Tbsp Fresh Herbs (parsley & basil)
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Clean the portobello mushroom cap by gently wiping it with a damp cloth. Remove the stem if needed.
Prepare the roasted vegetables by chopping bell pepper, zucchini, and halving cherry tomatoes. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa (both 1/2 cup and 1/3 cup portions), chickpeas, and a handful of chopped fresh herbs. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Lightly whisk the egg whites and stir them into the quinoa mixture for an extra protein boost.
Spoon the herbed quinoa mixture onto the portobello cap, pressing gently to fill the cavity.
Place the stuffed mushroom on a baking dish and bake in the oven for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Plate the stuffed mushroom and top with the roasted vegetables. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.
