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.
This is the kind of recipe that makes me wish I liked mushrooms! It does sound good and I want to give this recipe to someone else so they can make them and I can try them! I love the addition of the garlic and hot chili jam!
ReplyDeleteThey look pretty delicious to me, but I'm not sure I could get the rest of the crew to eat them. Sigh.
