Stuffed MUSHROOMS
Stuffed MUSHROOMS
INGREDIENTS
12 oz (about 12) portabella mushrooms (small, baby bella-sized)
1/3 cup low-sodium, fat-free broth, chicken or vegetable
1/2 cup (about 1 small) yellow onion, diced
1/4 cup oil-free sun-dried tomatoes, finely diced
2 tsp (about 2 cloves) garlic, minced
2 oz (about 2 cups) baby spinach, torn into pieces
1/2 cup fat-free feta cheese, crumbled
1/3 cup plain panko breadcrumbs (no fat added)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F.
Prep mushrooms: Remove stems from mushrooms. Set aside caps. Dice stems.
Heat broth: In a medium skillet, add chicken or vegetable broth. Heat over medium-low heat.
Cook vegetables: Add onion, diced mushroom stems, and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 min.
Add garlic and spinach: Stir in garlic and spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted, about 1–2 min. Spinach will cook down to about 1/3 of its original amount.
Mix filling: Remove skillet from heat. Add feta cheese and breadcrumbs. Stir until evenly combined.
Stuff mushrooms and bake: Spoon mixture into opening of mushroom caps (where the stem used to be). Place cap on a baking sheet with filling facing up. Bake for about 15 min, until filling is lightly golden.
Drain liquid and serve: Mushrooms may release liquid. If so, gently dab with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Then place on a plate and serve hot.
TIPS
For extra flavor without adding fat, sprinkle a tiny pinch of dried herbs like oregano or thyme on top of the stuffed mushrooms before baking.
Don’t want to mince garlic all the time? Consider buying a jar of minced garlic and substituting 1 tsp for each garlic clove in your recipes.
