Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cup red onion
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Finely chop the stems and set the mushroom caps aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped red onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.
Add the chopped mushroom stems and garlic, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the cooked vegetable mixture with feta cheese, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Stuff each mushroom cap with a generous spoonful of the filling.
Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the stuffed mushroom caps.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
