The Good Stuff-ing
These vegetarian Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms speak for themselves. Now onto the good part: the filling is made with a delicious blend of sautéed shallots, garlic and herbs tossed with spinach, goat cheese and jasmine rice with red and wild rice.
The easy to prepare mushrooms are bursting with flavor in every bite. Bring them to your next family gathering or get together as an appetizer or side dish, but we can’t guarantee that they’ll make it to the table.
Beef them up by adding a bit of Italian sausage or rotisserie chicken to the mix. Not a fan of goat cheese? Swap it out for a lighter cheese like brie or mozzarella. Test one out beforehand, but be careful not to eat them all before serving!
