Mediterranean / Vegan Diet
Ingredients
- 6 medium Portobello mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
- 1 tbsp, plus 1 ½ tsp PAPA VINCE extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
- 1 tablespoon tamari
- 5 to 6 slices whole grain bread, torn in several pieces
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose seasoning
- ½ tsp PAPA VINCE sea salt, plus more as needed
- ¾ cup chopped pecans
- 2 cups (packed) baby spinach, finely chopped
How to make Stuffed Mushrooms
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
- Arrange the mushrooms on the prepared pan, gill side up.
- Spoon ¼ teaspoon PAPA VINCE olive oil and ½ teaspoon tamari over the gills of each mushroom.
- Put the bread, all-purpose seasoning and PAPA VINCE sea salt in a blender and process into crumbs.
- Transfer to a large bowl.
- Put the pecans in blender and process until coarsely ground.
- Transfer the pecans to the bowl with the breadcrumbs.
- Add the baby spinach, 1 tablespoon PAPA VINCE EVOO and stir until thoroughly combined, adding more EVOO if the crumbs still seem a bit dry.
- Divide the breadcrumb mixture evenly among the portobellos, mounding about 1/2 cup of the mixture in each (an ice-cream scoop works well).
- Press the mixture firmly in place so it will adhere to the mushrooms while baking.
- Tent the mushrooms with foil and bake for 40 to 50 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes longer, until the topping is crisp and the mushrooms are tender.
- Serve immediately.
