Ingredients
Scale
4 large portobello mushroom caps
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (omit for vegan)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Gently clean the portobello mushroom caps with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and scoop out the gills using a spoon.
Brush both sides of the mushroom caps with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Grill the mushroom caps for 5-7 minutes per side, or until tender and lightly charred. Set aside.
While the mushrooms are grilling, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the cooked quinoa, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and feta cheese (if using). Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the filling evenly into the grilled portobello mushroom caps.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful meal.
Notes
For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese or substitute with a dairy-free alternative.
You can customize the stuffing with your favorite vegetables or grains.
These stuffed portobellos are also delicious baked in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes.
