To prepare the stuffing, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add mushooms and cook until lightly brown, remove them from the pan. Add the onions into the pan, cook untill just tender. Add garlic, zucchini, and tomotoes and cook until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms back into the pan along with the spinach, paprika, cumin, yeast, salt and pepper.
