Steps:
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the quinoa into a small pan, pour in 400ml water, then stir in the tomato purée, garlic and bouillon powder. Cook, covered, over a low heat for 20 mins before adding the chickpeas, spinach and basil, then cook for a further 5 mins. Leave to stand for 5 mins, so all the liquid is absorbed.

- Mix in feta, then add Parmesan, pepper and cayenne pepper, stirring well to combine.
- Fill each mushroom cap with the stuffing and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

- Remove the stems from the mushrooms. You can do this by simply twisting them off with your hands.

- Mix the quinoa, vegetables, feta cheese, and herbs in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stuff the mushrooms with the quinoa mixture. Fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of the mixture.
- Bake the mushrooms in the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the quinoa is cooked through.
- Serve the mushrooms hot. These mushrooms can be served as a main course or a side dish.
