Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms are a traditional vegetarian dinner, however one which EVERYONE will love! These portobello mushrooms are full of creamy goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, hearty white beans, and loads of Parm! Carried out in simply half-hour, this recipe works as a important dish or as a facet.

A contemporary tackle a vegetarian favourite.

For a very long time, portobello mushrooms had been puffed up because the vegetarian model of steak.

My scorching take is: steak is steak. Portobello mushrooms shine on their very own while not having any comparisons, and these stuffed portobello mushrooms are the proper showcase for them.

• Like my Grilled Portobello Mushrooms, it is a recipe the place you’ll respect the meatiness of this mushroom. No, it’s not Air Fryer Steak, but it surely actually is satisfying in a means you simply don’t get with different veggies.
• A easy balsamic vinegar combination makes the mushrooms further flavorful, so that they’re not simply the vessel for tacky goodness (extra on that later!), however delicious in their very own proper.
• That huge hole middle offers us numerous room for an epic tacky, bean-y spinach filling. A variety of stuffed portobello mushroom recipes are simply cheese, spinach, and possibly some breadcrumbs, however my model has cannellini beans too, which make the filling extra substantive (and fewer prone to run throughout your plate whenever you reduce into the mushrooms).

Although Ben was slightly (okay, so much) skeptical about having mushrooms as a important dish for dinner, all it took was one chunk to promote him on the concept. Victory!

Key Elements

You’ll discover the total checklist of elements within the recipe card under, however listed below are a number of the highlights.

• Portobello Mushrooms. You’ll take away the stem and take out the gills. The gills are completely edible, however they’ll flip the filling a dingy shade of grey, which isn’t precisely appetizing!
• Balsamic Vinegar. Balsamic and mushrooms are a pure pairing. It’s richer and sweeter than different vinegars.
• Shallot and Garlic. With out these, the filling can be one-note. These add numerous depth. Yellow onion is the very best substitute for shallots when you can’t discover them.
• Dried Rosemary. Thyme or sage would additionally work.
• Child Spinach. It appears like so much, but it surely wilts down into virtually nothing!
• Cannellini Beans. As a result of these beans are so creamy, they don’t destroy the vibe of the tacky filling. 
• Goat Cheese. YAAAAS. It makes the filling creamy with out the necessity to fuss with an precise cream sauce. If you happen to’re not a goat cheese fan, you may swap in ricotta. 
• Solar-Dried Tomatoes. These reduce a number of the richness of the filling with their sweet-tart-bright taste.
• Parmesan. For the very best taste and soften, grate your personal off a block.
• Contemporary Basil. Parsley would additionally work, however basil and sun-dried tomatoes are the true dynamic duo.
• Panko Breadcrumbs. For some crispy-crunch on the highest. I don’t advocate substituting common store-bought breadcrumbs, that are sort of like sawdust when it comes to taste and texture. As a substitute, toast a slice of bread and blitz it in your meals processor.

A Few Variation Concepts

• Make It an Appetizer. Use the identical filling, however swap in cremini mushrooms. Observe the directions from my Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms or Crab Stuffed Mushrooms.
• Swap in Kale or Chard. Kale is heartier and has extra texture than silky wilted spinach, whereas chard has a delicate bitterness to it. (The chard stems might be sautéed with the shallot and added to the filling.)
• Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms. Use vegan ricotta and vegan Parmesan. Simple!
