Fantastic!! I made this but omitted the parsley, filled up hollowed out kaiser rolls with it, and topped it with a some parmesan and gouda cheese. Threw it in a 350F oven for about 5 minutes. Delish! I also used 2 cups of pre-cooked quinoa, and omitted the 1.5 cups of water.

Really great tasting! I was expecting a "pie" to be more like something sliceable, and this isn't that. It's more like quinoa with mushroom sauce. Nothing wrong with that, just know what to expect. Thanks LaniD!

I’m a Libra, I’m also an INFP (Jung - Myers-Briggs typology). The INFP explains me better then my star sign. I’m a sloppy perfectionist. I crave solitude. I’m constantly in need of an escape. I’m a huge music fan with the smallest music collection. I’m quietly spoken with wild ideas and a hyperactivity problem I keep in check by exercise. I’m an artist, a painter, a photographer, and a writer. I like to use a new word every time I discover it. I love to read and I am currently catching up on the classics (if you have a book that I have to read, tell me). I'm a Martial Artist with a green belt in free style Kung Fu (Akido, Bushido, Kali and Karate also). I'm also about to do the intermediate course in pole dancing. I love to cook, its my meditation after a long day. I wish that I could be in a rock’n’roll band. I love to write. I'm an insomniac. I'm mainly vegetarian. I live on 14 acres of Austrlaian Bush. I miss Melbourne. I love Thunderstorms. I consider myself a Photographer. I am silly/serious, often aimless, sometimes arrogant, always contradictory; which means it takes people a long time to really know me. I can be blunt to the point of rude, overly critically, in the need to always be right with a fundamental difficulty of understanding humans. I'm hyper active most of the time. I NEED to learn to accept existence.
