1 4oz Package of Goat Cheese crumbled
2 Tbl Butter

Directions-
1. Cook the quinoa as directed with water or chicken stalk add the tarragon at the start.
2. In a medium saute pan over medium heat add butter, garlic, shallots and asparagus and cook for 5-6 minutes. Put mixture in to a medium mixing bowl. Turn on oven to 350 degrees.
3. When the quinoa is finished drain any extra water and add to mixing bowl with the veggies. Add the goat cheese and mix together.
4. Evenly add the quinoa to the portabellas and put on a sheet tray and put into the oven for 18-20 minutes. Garnish with what ever you like I did tomatoes and avocado, I used up the rest of the asparagus as a side...enjoy!
