How to Prepare Toasted Quinoa Vegetable Stacks With Green Goddess Dressing [Vegan]
For the Toasted Quinoa Vegetable Stacks
- In a bowl combine tarragon vinegar, lemon juice, vegetable stock, onion powder, garlic powder and a pinch of black pepper.
- Pour mixture over portobello mushroom caps and marinate for one hour, turning after 30 minutes.
- Cook quinoa according to package instructions and set aside. (this can be done the day before to save time)
- Roast peppers over a gas flame on your stove, turning with tongs until skin is evenly charred. Transfer to plate and allow to cool. Peel the charred skin by hand. Once peeled cut away the stems, seeds and veins. (this can be done the day before to save time)
- Heat grill on high.
- Brush tomatoes with 1 tsp of olive oil. Place the tomatoes and the mushrooms on grill and cook 5-7 minutes on each side, or until slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
- While tomatoes are grilling, heat a non-stick skillet (Cuisinart Green Gourmet is a good brand) over medium heat. Add ½ tsp olive oil and cooked quinoa to skillet, cook over medium to medium-high heat, stirring occasionally for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from heat.
- To assemble each individual plate. Place 1 cup of spinach on plate. Top with portobello mushroom, cap side down. Top mushroom with ½ cup toasted quinoa, ½ grilled tomato slice, avocado, roasted red peppers, sprouts, and sunflower seeds. Drizzle with Green Goddess dressing and fresh black pepper.
- Combine all ingredients in a blender or Cuisinart. Puree until smooth and season to taste with fresh black pepper. Chill in the refrigerator.
- Use immediately or store covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
