METHOD

Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a sieve. Combine quinoa and 1 cup plus 2 tbsp water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low heat. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and set aside for 5 minutes with the cover on. Take off the lid and fluff it.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C, or gas mark 5). Fill a six-cup muffin tin with paper muffin cups.

In a food processor, combine the spinach and mushrooms and pulse until finely chopped.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients and thoroughly combine.

Divide the mixture among the muffin cups. Cook for 20– 25 minutes.
