Nut-Stuffed Mushrooms
Serves 2
5 fresh Portobello mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
1 large onion
2 garlic cloves
2 tsp canola/olive oil
60g mixed unsalted nuts like brazils, hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts
1 tbsp margarine
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp dried rosemary
1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs like parsley, fennel, dill, chives
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Method
1 Cut the stems from the mushrooms and finely dice these along with 1 whole mushroom.
2 Preheat the oven to 200°C.
3 Finely dice the onion and crush the garlic cloves.
4 Place the onion and garlic in a saucepan with the canola/olive oil and sweat them in the oil until the onion is soft and beginning to brown. Add the chopped mushroom stalks and sweat the vegetables for a few more minutes.
5 Lightly toast the mixed nuts in a medium oven and remove the skins.
6 Grind the mixed nuts fairly finely in a food processor or using a mortar and pestle and add to the pan along with the margarine, dried herbs, fresh herbs and salt and pepper to taste. Mix to combine.
7 Place the whole mushrooms, stem side up, on a baking tray. Divide the mixture between the mushrooms and spread over the surface of each one.
8 Bake in the oven for 5-8 minutes or until the tops are beginning to brown and the mushrooms are just cooked. Serve 2 mushrooms on each plate along with a salad.
