Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 white onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 pre-made pie crust
• 2 tablespoons milk (for brushing crust)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water and drain.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 6

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until they release their moisture and begin to turn golden, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh thyme, parsley, and soy sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, mushroom mixture, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, and grated parmesan cheese. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 9

Roll out your pre-made pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 10

Spoon the mushroom and quinoa mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 11

Brush the edges of the pie crust with milk to promote browning.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

Step 13

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 14

Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy!
