Stuffed Portobello Mushroom with Kale and Quinoa

Mmmm mmmm – one of my favorite dishes – a stuffed portobello mushroom recipe.  It’s a great side dish and a staple of vegetarian diets. 

Portobello mushrooms have a rich earthy taste that is described as umami. They have a large cap perfect for stuffing.

This recipe features another healthy vegetarian staple – kale and a gluten free grain substitute – quinoa. I also used sliced shallots, red peppers, and parsley for this recipe.
