Ingredients
  

4 large Portobello mushrooms

1 cup cooked quinoa (or rice)

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently clean the Portobello mushrooms with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and gills using a spoon to create space for the stuffing.

      Sauté the Filling: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add chopped spinach and cook until wilted.

        Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa (or rice), sautéed garlic and spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, toasted pine nuts, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

          Stuff the Mushrooms: Spoon the filling generously into each Portobello cap, packing it tightly.

            Bake: Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is heated through.

              Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve warm.
