Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 red pepper finely chopped
  • 1 cup 100g white button mushrooms finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup quinoa
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 2 cups water
  • 8 400g extra large brown mushrooms
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Place the extra large brown mushrooms in a baking dish.
  2. Fry the onion and garlic in the olive oil until glassy, add the red pepper and fry for about 1 minute. Then add the button mushrooms and fry for another minute.
  3. Now add the quinoa, coconut milk and water and simmer vigorously for 15 minutes, until the quinoa is tender and the sauce is thick.
  4. While the quinoa is cooking, place the brown mushrooms in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. When the sauce is done season with salt & black pepper to taste and pour into the mushrooms (it’s fine if some overflows!). Bake for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the sauce is bubbling.
