Simple + Sophisticated

Stuffed mushrooms always feel fancy to me. Recently I bought baby portabella mushrooms without a real plan. I wasn’t sure how I was going to prepare them, but they looked good and I was up for the challenge.

These are a great addition to a dinner party, potluck or a vegetable side to a light dinner. Stretch this out and make it your own. You can stuff mushrooms with whatever you have in your fridge (i.e. pesto, goat cheese + kalamata olives, etc)

Stuffed Mushrooms

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs. mushrooms, you can use baby Portobello’s, Cremini or Button
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
  • 1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped – reserve a little extra for serving
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, diced
  • 3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
2. Remove mushroom stems (and set aside for later). Brush mushrooms with a little olive oil, place (stem side up) and bake for 8-10 minutes.
3. In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the shallots, bell pepper, garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for about 3 minutes until they start to get tender. Add the parsley, finely chopped mushroom stems and chopped walnuts, cook another 2-3 minutes. Add in chopped spinach until it wilts. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Remove the mushrooms from the oven, pour off any water that accumulated in the mushrooms.
5. Spoon the filling into the mushrooms and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes. Topped with fresh, raw diced red bell peppers and serve warm.
