These Gluten Free Stuffed Mushrooms with these zucchini and Quinoa Stuffed mushrooms make a great starter or light meal.  It’s an easy vegetarian recipe, and a good way to introduce quinoa to the uninitiated. I’ve also made sure to keep the sodium levels down on this, no one wants to be bloated from salt, especially during the hot summer months.  A little lemon zest makes sure there is enough flavor.

Gluten Free Stuffed Mushrooms : Zucchini Quinoa Stuffing

The Zucchini Quinoa Stuffing for these gluten free stuffed mushrooms features a bit of Italian cheese as a tasty binder.  It is a tender moist stuffing and the overall flavor of these stuffed mushrooms is relatively mild, making it a starter well suited for serving before delicate entrees.  I don’t know about you, but I prefer not to blow my palate out before eating a subtle meal, like baked cod.
