Stuffed Portobellos from the oven

Geschatte leestijd: 2 minuten I actually find oven dishes one of the most enjoyable dishes to make. This recipe is a completely original creation and a top dish to serve. A dish with the main ingredient, the Portobello mushroom. This is a large chestnut mushroom that originally comes from America but is now also available in the Netherlands. The Portobello has a nutty full flavor and can therefore be used in many dishes. Due to their size, they are ideal for stuffing. I made the stuffing with sweet potato but this can also be replaced by (red) quinoa. So you can choose between these two or choose both, as I did to try them out! Divide the quantities of the remaining ingredients into two mixing bowls. In this dish, I added minced meat to the stuffing but you can of course also leave this out! Clean the Portobello mushrooms with a soft damp cloth and preferably under running water to preserve their flavor.

2. Cut the spinach into narrow strips, finely chop the onion. Crumble the feta cheese with your hands and set aside.
3. Clean the Portobello mushrooms by removing the stem (which breaks off easily but can also be done with a knife) and remove the gills with a teaspoon.
4. Drizzle the Portobello mushrooms with a little olive oil and sea salt and set them aside for a moment.
5. Brown the minced meat and season it with herbs to taste.
6. Once the potato is ready (or quinoa), drain it and add it to a mixing bowl with the minced meat, spinach, garlic, onion, and feta cheese.
7. Season with some thyme, pepper, and salt.
8. Mix the filling well and then stuff the Portobello mushrooms. They can be filled generously.
9. Slice the cherry tomatoes and place them on top of the filling.

Tip! Serve the Portobello mushrooms as a main course with a fresh salad together with an organic or fresh soup of your choice.
