Ingredients

• 4 large portobello mushrooms
• 150 grams of soft goat cheese
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Handful of fresh herbs (e.g. thyme, rosemary), finely chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: handful of pine nuts or walnuts

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Step 2

Carefully remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms and use a spoon to scrape out some of the insides to create more space for the filling.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and garlic and cook until softened.

Step 4

In a bowl, combine the fried onion and garlic, goat cheese, chopped herbs, and optionally the pine nuts or walnuts. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Fill each portobello with the goat cheese mixture.

Step 6

Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.

Step 7

Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the goat cheese is lightly golden brown and bubbling.

Serve the stuffed portobello mushrooms warm, perhaps with a fresh salad on the side. It's a dish that's sure to impress, both in taste and presentation!
