Where to start
If you’ve never made stuffed mushrooms before, this simple recipe is a great starting point to get you started with a simple and delicious recipe. Once you get the hang of these you can make your way onto something more elaborate like sausage stuffed mushrooms or these stuffed portobellos with rice, spinach, goat cheese and fresh herbs.
Make sure to wash your mushrooms before beginning and separate the stems from the caps. Chop the stems finely to get all of the nice flavors and taste of the mushrooms and add them into your rice, cheese and pepper mixture. Fill them gently and toss in the oven! Garnish with chives when finished and pile on the Parmesan if you’re a cheese lover.
These are naturally vegetarian, but if you want to make them vegan as well, simply substitute in nutritional yeast or another vegan cheese for Parmesan or simply omit the cheese altogether.
