Drizzle a bit of olive oil on each side and rub gently to coat. With top sides facing down on the cookie sheet, place mushrooms in oven for 10 minutes. Then, remove from oven and flip mushroom over on cookie sheet so the built up liquid drains out. Set aside.<\/p>\n<p>PREPARE FILLING: Using a large skillet (cast iron is best if you have one) on medium high heat, add 2 TBSP of olive oil into the hot pan. Add shallots and garlic; saute. After a couple of minutes, add all your diced peppers into the pan. Continue to saute, stirring occasionally, until peppers are softened. Add chopped parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Finally, add cooked quinoa and saute, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes; stir occasionally.<\/p>\n<p>BUILD THE MUSHROOM: Take 1\/4 cup of quinoa filling and, with mushroom laying top-side down, heap the quinoa on top. Sprinkle a little goat cheese on top of the filling, and then evenly sprinkle panko to coat the filling.<\/p>\n<p>BAKE: Return mushrooms to the oven for 15-18 minutes, or until panko begins to slightly brown. Remove and set aside.<\/p>\n<p>PREPARE SALAD: Place 2 large handfuls of arugula in a large bowl. Drizzle approx 1 TBSP olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle 1 tsp of lemon zest over the arugula, add two generous pinches of sea salt, and 1\/4 tsp of lemon juice.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of ways to serve this:<\/p>\n<p>If you are serving these on individual plates, you\u2019ll want to divide the arugula salad evenly on four plates, and then lay the stuffed portobello right in the center.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Quinoa Stuffed Portobellos with\u00a0Brussel Sprouts, feta Cheese and Corn<\/h2>\n<p><em><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1\/2 cup quinoa, rinsed<\/li>\n<li>1 1\/4 lbs.
