Ingredients
400 grams button mushrooms, halved
0.12 pinch black pepper
1 cup rice and quinoa blend, rinsed
2 capsicums quartered, seeded and chopped
2 Spanish onions sliced into 1 cm wedges
1/35 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
1 cup flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
Method

Place mushrooms into a bowl. Combine the olive oil, vinegar, mustard and pepper together. Toss 2 tbs of the dressing through the mushrooms to coat. Cover and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.

Cook rice and quinoa following packet directions. Stir with a fork to separate grains then set aside to cool to room temperature.

Preheat oven to 200°C (fan forced). Place capsicums and onions into a large greased roasting pan. Spoon over the remaining salad dressing and season. Roast for 15 minutes or until just tender. Add tomatoes and olives. Roast a further 5-8 minutes or until just warmed through. Set aside 5 minutes.

Add rice and quinoa, mushrooms and parsley to roast vegetables, toss gently to combine. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, season to taste, serve.
