Spinach-Feta Stuffed Mushrooms Caps (Vegetarian) image

These are *so* good! I also like to crumble some feta cheese onto the top right after baking but that is optional, although it is not necessary I like to boil the spinach in the microwave for about 5 minutes, this will mellow out the flavor, this can be done up to a day ahead, also you may pre-bake the caps up to a day ahead also :)

Time 40m

Yield 12 mushroom caps

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 mushroom caps (use very large caps)
olive oil
coarse black pepper (to taste)
1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach
3/4-1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped onion (or use green onions)
2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (toasted is better to use)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place the mushroom caps onto a baking sheet stem-side down.
  • Bake for about 6-8 minutes or long enough to release their moisture and dry out.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degree F.
  • Turn the caps stem-side up then brush each cap with olive oil.
  • Season each cap with coarse black pepper and a little salt.
  • Place the spinach in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a little water; microwave on high allowing the water to boil with the spinach for about 5 minutes (this will release and mellow out the strong flavor in the spinach).
  • Drain in a strainer and cool the spinach (I just run cold water over to cool faster).
  • Hand-squeeze out ALL the moisture in the cooled spinach then place into a bowl.
  • Add in feta cheese, onion, garlic, chopped fresh parsley and chopped walnuts; mix to combine well.
  • Season with fresh coarse black pepper.
  • Divide the mixture between the caps.
  • Bake (350 degree F) uncovered for about 15 minutes.
