Spinach & Pecan Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms image

This dish is great as a vegetarian main course. You could alternately use the same stuffing to fill about 20 smaller mushrooms (crimini, button) to use as an appetizer. The pecans add a subtle crunchy textural element.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 portabella mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil or 1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 cups frozen leaf spinach, still frozen or 1 1/2 cups defrosted frozen chopped spinach, drained
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/3-1/2 cup pecans, chopped (can substitute walnuts)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Place portabella mushrooms, gills up, in a greased baking dish. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
  • Add onions and thyme to pan and cook until onions are translucent.
  • Add garlic to pan and cook until softened, approximately 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn your garlic.
  • Add spinach and breadcrumbs to pan.
  • There will probably be little to no liquid in the pan at this point so you will need to add some water to moisten the breadcrumbs. Add a little at a time until the mixture is able to hold itself together nicely. If you add too much water, just keep the pan over the heat until the water has evaporated sufficiently.
  • Add the pecans.
  • Remove pan from heat and add parmesan cheese.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Divide mixture and mound over the portobello mushrooms.
  • Add a very light sprinkle of parmesan over the tops, merely for decoration, if you like.
  • Bake for 30 minutes until mushrooms are cooked through.
