1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a six-hole (¾-cup capacity) Texas muffin pan. Line bases with non-stick muffin cases.
2 Cook quinoa following packet directions, until tender. Drain, rinse under cold water, drain again.
3 Meanwhile, in a medium non-stick frying pan, heat oil over medium-high. Cook leek and mushrooms, stirring, for 5-7 minutes, or until soft. Stir in half of the thyme.
