Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

Portobello mushrooms are nature's perfect vessel for stuffing. Their meaty texture and deep, savory flavor hold up beautifully to a filling of sauteed spinach, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes. Topped with cheese and baked until bubbly, they make an impressive vegetarian dinner that does not feel like you are missing anything.

Ingredients

  • 6 large portobello mushroom caps, stems removed
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheese of choice
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic granules
  • ½ tsp Redmond Real Salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp pine nuts

*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush the mushroom caps with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place gill-side up on a baking sheet.
  2. Heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the spinach and cook for 2 minutes until wilted.
  3. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic granules, salt, and pepper.
  4. Divide the filling among the mushroom caps. Top with cheese and pine nuts.
  5. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Scrape the gills out of the mushroom caps with a spoon for a cleaner look and less moisture.
  • Skip the cheese and add nutritional yeast flakes for a vegan version.
  • Serve with a simple green salad dressed in lemon and olive oil.
