I
like mushrooms but the better half is pretty lukewarm on them. So I keep looking for ways to do them that he
might like. So here are my Spicy Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms. They were a little fiddly to do but the
results were worth it – I think!
I
prepared the mushrooms by brushing off any dirt on the outside. Luckily the ones you buy these days don't
seem to carry much dirt. I didn't know
for ages that washing mushrooms was a no no.
Then
I cut off the stalks and cut off the dark brown gills on the inside - don't throw it away though. Chop up the stalks and put them into a pot
with some butter, a finely chopped garlic clove, a little bit of chopped onion,
2 chopped brazil nuts (any nut would do) and a little chopped parsley. Gently sautee that up until it is nice and
mushy.
While
this is cooking, I put a tiny smear of hot chilli jam onto the mushrooms. Then fill your mushrooms up with your stalky
mix, top with grated cheese, breadcrumbs, and finally, a knob of butter and
cook in the oven til the top is golden brown.
As you can see from the picture I went a little past golden. It tasted good but I should have taken them
out about 5-10 minutes earlier.
That sounds tasty. I do a mushroom fried rice which is a hit with the husband and my son, although my 2 year old son is an enthusiastic mushroom eater. Favourite thing to eat (after prawns and mussels obviously?!)
ReplyDeleteMy husband would love these!
