Mushroom Marinade
2 pounds crimini mushrooms, stems removed
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3-5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 bunch fresh or dried rosemary
salt to taste
Quinoa Stuffing
1/2 cup quinoa
1/2 zuchini, chopped small
1/4 red bell pepper, chopped small
1/4 green bell pepper, chopped small
1/2 white onion, chopped small
1 cup feta cheese (optional)
1 bunch fresh dill, chopped
juice from 1/2 lemon
1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil OR grape seed oil
salt to taste

1
Wash mushroom caps thoroughly, pat dry, and put into large plastic storage bags which zip closed.
2
Add all other ingredients to the bags of mushrooms. Zip bags carefully and shake well to incorporate all ingredients.
3
Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes while you work on the filling.
4
Cook quinoa according to package instructions. Set aside to cool.
5
Preheat oven to 400.
6
In an airtight container, combine dill, lemon juice, oil and salt. Shake very well to incorporate. Set aside.
7
Lay mushrooms on baking sheet(s) in one layer and cook in the oven for about 20 minutes. They will be ready when they are starting to become soft but still keep their integrity. When they are done, set aside to cool.
8
Chop all the veggies very small. Once the quinoa is at room temperature, add all of the veggies in a large mixing bowl. It is very important that the quinoa is not warm, as you do not want the vegetables to cook.
9
Add feta cheese and lemon-dill vinaigrette to the quinoa and mix well.
10
When the mushrooms are cool, stuff them with the quinoa by using a small spoon. It's can be a little messy, but if you are firm with the spoon, the quinoa will stay put in the cap. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
