Roasted Garlic, Red Pepper and Mushroom Quinoa

Ingredients
1 head garlic
1 C. quinoa
2 T. EVOO
1/2 C. chopped red pepper
1/2 C. chopped mushrooms
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 400.  Chop the top off the garlic and peel away the loose outside paper.  Drizzle olive oil on cloves, wrap in foil and roast for 20-30 minutes, or until golden.  Let cool.

Cook quinoa according to directions on package.  While quinoa is cooking, heat a skillet on medium heat and add olive oil.  Add red pepper and mushrooms and saute until soft, about 6-8 minutes.  When quinoa is done, fluff with a fork and add peppers and mushrooms.  Squeeze the entire head of garlic cloves into the quinoa, mashing some with a fork and leaving others whole.  Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
