    BASE

    1 cup quinoa, rinsed

    2 cups vegetable stock

    2 eggs, beaten

    75g parmesan

    salt & pepper

    FILLING

    1 red onion, finely sliced

    1 tsp dried thyme

    150g mushrooms, sliced

    200g low fat cottage cheese

    2 tbs low fat yoghurt

    pinch of salt & pepper

    SERVES 6

    MUSHROOM& QUINOA TART

    Preheat oven to 180C and spray a removable bottom fluted

    tart pan with oil.

    To make tart base, place quinoa and stock in a small saucepan

    and bring to a gentle boil, cover and cook over a low heat for

    10-15 minutes or until all liquid has been absorbed. Remove

    from heat, fluff with a fork and let cool for 10 minutes. Then mix

    with eggs, parmesan and season with salt and pepper.

    Transfer mixture to prepared pie dish and gently press mixture

    evenly into the dish, including the sides. This is best done by

    covering with baking paper and using your hands, then a small

    glass to roll and press the mixture evenly.

    Bake tart crust for 15 minutes, or until just starting to brown.

    Remove from heat and set aside.

    To make filling, heat a non stick frypan over low-medium heat.

    Spray with oil, add onions and thyme and cook for 5 minutes,

    stirring regularly. Add mushrooms and garlic and cook for

    another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from

    heat and set aside.

    In a separate bowl, blend cottage cheese, yoghurt, lemon zest

    and salt and pepper.

    Spread cheese mixture over base of tart, top with mushroom

    mixture and bake for 20-30 minutes. Rest for 5 minutes before

    serving.
