Recipe for Portobello Stuffed Mushrooms | Vegan and Gluten-Free

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit (175 ºC).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the mushrooms stalk side up on the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and optionally drizzle over a little olive oil.

Step 3

Bake mushrooms. Place the baking sheet into the oven and roast for about 15 minutes or until the mushrooms begin to soften.

Step 4

Make stuffing. Meanwhile, heat a tablespoon of the olive oil in a saucepan (or use 2 tablespoons of water to make it oil-free). Add the onion, minced garlic, and celery and cook on low heat for 10 minutes or until the vegetables are soft but not brown.

Step 5

Add remaining dried tomatoes. Stir every few minutes during cooking, add the finely chopped dried tomatoes, and cook for a few more minutes.

Step 6

Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool down.

Step 7

Season. Add the vegan parmesan cheese, dried tarragon, fresh chopped parsley, and chopped basil. Taste the mix; you can add a little salt, but not too much because the dried tomatoes are usually salty.

Step 8

Pile up the filling on the portobello mushrooms caps and top shredded vegan mozzarella cheese or vegan parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Return to the oven and cook for about 10 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender.

Step 10

Serve. Transfer the stuffed portobello mushrooms to serving plates and garnish with chopped basil serve right away with a green salad.
