Best Meatless Stuffed Mushrooms Recipes

MEATLESS STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Clean the mushrooms and separate the caps from the stems, keeping the stems to use later.
• Slice off a thin piece across each cap's inside so the mushroom's opening becomes wider and flatter. Also save these mushroom scraps.
• Place your mushroom caps, open-side-up, on a large cookie sheet or non-stick pan (pizza pans work nicely).
• In a food processor, combine garbanzo beans, mushroom pieces and onion. Chop them into a fine, nearly paste-like consistency.
• In a skillet, saute garlic in margarine, then place the processed combination in the pan and cook over medium-high heat.
• Stir in oil, corn meal, basil, parmesan cheese and salt.
• Keep mixing well as you continue to cook the ingredients together for about 2-3 minutes.
• Allow the stuffing to sit in the pan and cook for a few minutes, browning and crusting slightly. Turn, and brown the other side.
• After approximately 7-8 minutes, the stuffing is ready to be scooped into the mushroom caps. (Spritzing the mushroom caps with cooking oil is recommended.).
• Using a normal kitchen spoon, scoop generous mounds of the stuffing into each cap, pressing firmly to create packed mounds on each cap. Any leftover stuffing can be sprinkled around the caps.
• Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes.

MEATLESS STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine zucchini, carrots, water chestnuts, pine nuts, and garlic in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add vegetable mixture and cook until slightly soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and return to the mixing bowl to cool.
• Add Parmesan cheese to the cooled vegetables; mix to combine. Fill each mushroom with a generous amount of vegetable mixture, sprinkle cayenne pepper on top, and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until mushrooms are tender, about 12 minutes.
