lace the side of the springform pan over the paper and close the latch. If using foil, fold the foil overhang up over the base of the pan. (Note: This step is necessary or the fluid will leak out. Alternately, a 9- or 10-inch-round cake pan will work and there is no need to line with foil.) Spray inside of pan with cooking spray.
- COMBINE quinoa, butter, water and baking powder in medium bowl; stir well. Press firmly into bottom of prepared pan.
- BAKE for 15 minutes.
- HEAT oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until they begin to soften. Reduce heat to medium; stir in shallots and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Season with salt and pepper.
