Quinoa, Mushroom and Tomato Bowl with Eggs

A quinoa, mushroom and tomato bowl with eggs is very filling. Tender quinoa with meaty mushrooms stewed in tomato sauce is awesome and enhancing that with more tomatoes, garlic, Thai red chilies, red pepper flakes, basil, and parsley creates an unforgettable meal. You get hearty bites with a little spice and all this is topped with perfectly cooked eggs. You break the yolks, allow them to meld with the sauce and the only thing left to do is dig in!
