One Of The Tastiest Stuffed Mushroom Recipes Ever
There are a lot of stuffed mushroom recipes out there but these Stuffed Mushrooms With Feta, Rocket (Arugula) and Pine Nuts is really my favourite. These quantities will serve 2-3 people as a main course or 6 as a side dish or appetizer.
6 Portabello Mushrooms (these are the most suitable for all stuffed mushroom recipes but you could use a smaller variety of mushroom if you prefer. Just make sure the mushrooms have a solid cap for stuffing.)
2 Tablespoons of Pine Nuts
125g/4.5oz/about a half cup of feta cheese
handful of chives
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
50g/2oz/¼ cup of couscous
handful of rocket (arugula)
extra virgin olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
Method:
1. Put the couscous in a measuring jug and cover with twice it’s volume of boiling water. Leave for 10 minutes.
2. Toast the pine nuts by placing them in a dry frying pan and tossing frequently over a medium heat until they are golden brown.
3. Remove the stalks from the mushrooms and chop roughly. Shred the rocket (arugula).
4. Heat a little olive oil in the pan and keeping the heat low, add half of the chopped garlic. Stir for a minute or so then add the mushroom caps. Fry very gently for 5 minutes. After this, remove them from the pan and place them, open side up, on a roasting tin or baking tray.
5. Heat a little more oil in the pan and fry the rest of the garlic gently for a few seconds. Add the chopped mushroom stalks and sauté for a few minutes. When the mushrooms are soft, stir in the rocket (arugula) and stir for about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat.
6. Stir in the toasted pine nuts and crumble in the feta. Season with freshly ground pepper and mix well. As feta is already quite a salty cheese, it’s better not to add salt.
7. Scoop the mixture into the mushroom shells, top with couscous and drizzle with a little olive oil. Bake at 200C/390F or Gas6 for 10 minutes or until golden.
8. Top with chopped chives and serve with a little more rocket (arugula) drizzled with balsamic vinegar.
