Stuffed portobello mushrooms

These vegan stuffed mushrooms work well as quick and easy burgers too; put them into buns with hummus, salad leaves and roasted red peppers

Ingreadient

  • 4 very large portobello mushrooms, stalks removed and chopped
  • olive oil spray
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 50g mushrooms (any kind), chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp thyme leaves
  • 30g day-old sourdough bread, whizzed to breadcrumbs
  • 50g walnuts, toasted and chopped

Direction

    1. Heat the grill to medium. Spray the portobellos with a little oil on each side (keep the chopped stalks for later), season well and grill for 5 minutes on both sides until tender.
    2. Heat another spray of oil in a frying pan and fry the onion until soft. Add the chopped mushrooms, plus the chopped portobello stalks, add a pinch of salt and fry until the mushrooms are lightly golden.
    3. Add the garlic, smoked paprika and thyme for a minute, then stir in the breadcrumbs and walnuts for 1 minute.
    4. Spoon the mix into the middles of the mushrooms and pack down to fill the cavities. Grill again, for another 5 minutes.
    5. Serve with roasted vegetables or some greens.
