Portobello Mushroom Stuffed Vegan Recipe 1
Discover mouthwatering Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms – a culinary journey to transform ordinary ingredients into a symphony of Flavors! Let’s begin by taking four Portobello mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed, and ready to be transformed. Keep some mushrooms in reserve to enhance the dish’s depth.
Ingredients
- 4 Portobello mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed. Remove the gills and stems, but reserve them for the filing.
- 1 roasted red pepper, chopped
- ¼ cup boiled bamboo shoots, chopped cubes
- ½ cup red onion, diced
- ½ cup shredded sweet potato
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup spinach
- ¼ cup dried breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan, (you might require more to sprinkle on the dish once it is ready)
- ¼ teaspoon fresh basil, chopped
- Olive oil, for frying
- Salt and pepper
Method of preparing portobello mushrooms stuffed vegan recipe1
Before starting the preparation, preheat the oven at 190 degrees C (375 degrees F)
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a pan at medium heat. Saute onions, garlic and diced stems of the mushrooms until they turn light brown.
While you get an aromatic smell of onions and garlic, take a mixing bowl and mix red pepper, boiled cubes of bamboo shoots and shredded sweet potato.
Once onions, garlic and stems are sautéd, add spinach and cook for 1-2 min to get the flavour and then add all to the mixing bowl you have prepared with the other ingredients.
Sprinkle salt and pepper into this mixture. Add grated parmesan to enhance the texture a little bit, and add dried breadcrumbs. Just before the mixture is ready to be put into the stuffing of Portobello mushrooms, add some freshly chopped basil. In case you don’t have basil, you can use oregano or thyme.
The stuffing is now ready for the grand finale – the filling is lovingly spooned into the awaiting Portobello caps, creating a masterpiece in each. And just before you slide them in the preheated oven, graciously dust some more grated parmesan on them for a yummy cheesy flavour.
Cook them in the oven for 40 minutes. Once they are cooked, remove them from the oven and before you serve, garnish them with some more freshly grated parmesan and fresh chopped basil.
Your yummy Portobello Mushroom Stuffed Vegan Recipe are now ready for your tastebuds!!
