Stuffed Mega Mushroom

So I have been saving this recipe to post on this specific holiday.  Today is Fathers day and my dad loveeeesss mushrooms! We are both pretty big mushroom fans and this is a recipe for all you mushroom fans! So i dedicate this post to daddykins and will totally be making it for him next time I'm home. Here it is:
1 big portabello mushroom cut of the stem (and chop it to add to your quinoa mixture)
Then in a bowl mix the following:

1cup cooked quinoa
1/3 cooked lentils
1/4 cup onion chopped
1 garlic clove minced
1tsp salt (boiled with quinoa)
2 tbsp of coconut oil
1/2tsp thyme
1/8tsp paprika
1/4tsp cumin

After its all mixed together in a bowl pile it up inside the mushroom and place on a greased pan


cook at 375 degrees  for about 30-45 mins, you will smell the mushroom cooking and see the juices start to pour out.
Then take it out let it cool  off a little and add a cup of chopped up spinach to the top and serve.  You will need a knife and fork to go at this mound of juicy mushroom goodness.


Happy Fathers Day! :)
