Last day of Vegan MoFo! I think it has really helped doing an A-Z because it forced me to do a certain number of posts. I have enjoyed doing my alphabet mofo & have loved having so many blogs to read.
For the last meal of Vegan MoFo 2010 it is zucchini stuffed with quinoa, this is a good weeknight meal & is healthy & tasty.
Ingredients (the filling makes enough for about 4 halves depending on the size of your zucchini)
- 2 zucchinis
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 onion diced
- 1/2 cup mushrooms
- 1/2 cup plain pasta sauce
- 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
- 1/4 cup tvp (I would leave this out next time because you couldn't even tell it was in there)
- 2 cups water or staock (I used water)
- 3 tablespoons sliced olives
- 6 sage leaves chopped
- Cheezly
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees
- Cut zucchini in half & scoop out the insides & put aside, leaving about 1cm around the edges
- Put the zucchini in a lightly greased oven dish skin side down, cover with foil & cook for about 15 minutes on until tender
- Heat the oil in a frypan that has a lid & add onion
- Roughly chop the zucchini flesh & add to frypan with the mushrooms
- When the vegetables have softened add the rest of the ingredients (except the cheezly), cover & cook for 20-30 minutes but keep checking, stirring & add more water if needed until the quinoa is cooked
- Season to taste
- Fill the zucchini with the quinoa mixture & top with grated or thinly sliced cheezly & bake for another 15 minutes
Yum, this looks great! And well done on doing vegan mofo!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! So impressed with your ability to do the A-Z thing, that requires flexibility :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki,
ReplyDeleteYour zucchini stuffed with quinoa looks absolutely great. That's why I love quinoa. You can prepare it with anything.
You can stuff peppers, tomatoes or even mushrooms with quinoa.
It's so versatile.
Thanks for sharing!
