Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Stir the quinoa, cheese, garlic, onion, parsley, pecans, salt and pepper, to taste, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium bowl to blend.

3. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray to coat. Spoon the filling into the mushroom cavities and arrange on the baking sheet, cavity side up. Drizzle remaining oil over the filling in each mushroom.

4. Bake until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is heated through, about 25 minutes. Serve.

5. *To make vegan, swap ½ cup prepared salsa for shredded cheese.
**For a meaty version, add 1/3 cup cooked crumbled sausage to mixture.
