If you want to make a delicious, healthy and filling vegan dish you have to try these spinach stuffed portobello mushrooms. I love portobello mushrooms. They are so versatile and a great substitute for meat. They have an earthy, rich and meaty flavor that adds that filling feeling to a vegan or vegetarian dish. These portobello mushrooms are stuffed with a light yet flavorful spinach and mangold filling. The stuffing is seasoned with garlic, onion, cumin which makes it very flavorful and tasty. But I also added some cinnamon to give it a hint of sweetness and warmth, and lemon juice to add some freshness. And not to forget the walnuts that adds crunch and a bit of chewing resistance to the dish. These portobello mushrooms can be served either as a starter, side dish or main course. I chose to serve mine of top of a delicious cauliflower purée which pairs so well with the portobellos mushrooms.
A few tips:
- Be very gentle when removing the stems from the portobellos mushrooms, otherwise they might break. I use a small spoon and gently scoop the stems out. But don’t worry, they are still good to use if they break a little on the side.
- I used the broiling function when baking my mushrooms. I love when they are a bit more grilled than baked. But you can do it either way.
- When filling the portobellos don’t press down on it to mush. It’s both more tasty to eat them not too packed and its also prettier when they have a high top.
- These portobello mushrooms are good to store in the fridge for up to five four days.
- When reheating them I would recommend you to do it on low heat in the oven. But they can also be reheated in the microwave, but they might feel a bit more soggy .
