Ingredients
12 large portobello mushrooms - stems removed and gills scraped
9 oz ground beef (minced beef) - preferably grass-fed for better flavor
1 tbsp olive oil - extra virgin
1 medium onion - finely chopped
2 cloves garlic - minced
½ tsp chili flakes - adjust to taste
½ cup Parmesan cheese - freshly grated
1 tbsp parsley - chopped
1 pinch salt - to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper - freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Carefully scrape out the gills using a teaspoon to create space for stuffing.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, around 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and chili flakes, then sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the beef mince, cooking until fully browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley thoroughly.
- Stuff each mushroom cap with the beef mixture, pressing down to ensure it's well-packed.
- Place the filled mushrooms on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden.
Notes
- For a creamier filling, mix in some cream cheese with the beef.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute beef with finely chopped walnuts and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Enhance the flavors further by adding a splash of balsamic reduction over the mushrooms right before serving.
