Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms are a basic 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! Finished 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 have been puffed up because the vegetarian model of steak.

My sizzling take is: steak is steak. Portobello mushrooms shine on their very own without 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 recognize the meatiness of this mushroom. No, it’s not Air Fryer Steak, nevertheless it actually is satisfying in a approach you simply don’t get with different veggies.
• A easy balsamic vinegar combination makes the mushrooms additional flavorful, so that they’re not simply the vessel for tacky goodness (extra on that later!), however delicious in their very own proper.
• That massive hole middle provides us numerous room for an epic tacky, bean-y spinach filling. Lots of stuffed portobello mushroom recipes are simply cheese, spinach, and perhaps some breadcrumbs, however my model has cannellini beans too, which make the filling extra substantive (and fewer prone to run throughout your plate while you reduce into the mushrooms).

Although Ben was a bit of (okay, quite a bit) skeptical about having mushrooms as a important dish for dinner, all it took was one chew to promote him on the concept. Victory!

Key Components

You’ll discover the complete record of components within the recipe card under, however listed below are a few 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 in the event you can’t discover them.
• Dried Rosemary. Thyme or sage would additionally work.
• Child Spinach. It appears like quite a bit, nevertheless it wilts down into virtually nothing!
• Cannellini Beans. As a result of these beans are so creamy, they don’t break 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. When you’re not a goat cheese fan, you’ll be able to swap in ricotta. 
• Solar-Dried Tomatoes. These reduce a few of the richness of the filling with their sweet-tart-bright taste.
• Parmesan. For the very best taste and soften, grate your individual off a block.
• Contemporary Basil. Parsley would additionally work, however basil and sun-dried tomatoes are the actual dynamic duo.
• Panko Breadcrumbs. For some crispy-crunch on the highest. I don’t advocate substituting common store-bought breadcrumbs, that are form of like sawdust by way of 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 refined bitterness to it. (The chard stems could be sautéed with the shallot and added to the filling.)
• Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms. Use vegan ricotta and vegan Parmesan. Straightforward!
