    1 tablespoon butter
    1 medium onion, peeled,ends removed and chopped
    1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
    1/2 lb mushroom, cleaned and sliced

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

    In a large stock pot with a steamer tray, steam the
    peppers 4 to 5 minutes.

    Fold in the cooked quinoa.

    Fill the peppers with the quinoa mixture and stand
    up with their sides touching in the prepared baking
    dish.

    Cover loosely with foil and bake until the peppers
    are tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
