🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
• 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Raw almonds
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Clean the portabella mushroom caps gently with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Use a small spoon to scrape out the gills if desired, creating more space for the filling. Place the mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, gill-side up.

3. In a food processor, add the sun-dried tomatoes, almonds, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and well combined.

4. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the lemon juice. If you choose to use Parmesan cheese, mix it in at this stage. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

5. Spoon the filling generously into each mushroom cap, pressing it down gently to ensure it stays in place. Drizzle the tops with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

6. Bake the filled mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and fragrant.

7. Serve the filled mushrooms hot as an appetizer or a main dish garnished with extra parsley if desired.
