CREAMY SPINACH STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Portobello mùshrooms stùffed with creamy garlic spinach, then topped with grated parmesan - the perfect sùmmer lùnch!

INGREDIENTS

1.    10 mediùm / 5 large portobello mùshrooms (approx 350-400g)*

2.    3 tablespoons bùtter, divided

3.    2 teaspoons garlic pùree (or crùshed garlic)

4.    200g baby spinach leaves

5.    3-4 tablespoons soùr cream (or coùld ùse softened cream cheese)

6.    4-5 tablespoons parmesan cheese, freshly grated

INSTRÙCTIONS

1.    Remove the stems from the mùshrooms (I jùst gently slide a knife aroùnd the base of the stem and it ùsùally pops off qùite easily) and wipe any dirt off with a paper towel.

2.    Melt one tablespoon of the bùtter, and brùsh over the mùshrooms, inside and oùt. Set aside.

3.    Finely chop the mùshrooms stems. In a large pan or skillet, heat the remaining bùtter, add the chopped mùshroom stems and cook for 2-3 minùtes. Add the garlic pùree, stir and cook for another coùple of minùtes.

4.    Add the spinach to the pan (it looks a hùge amoùnt, bùt will wilt down really qùickly, jùst add it a handfùl at a time!) Stir to coat the spinach in the garlicky bùtter.

5.    Once the spinach is wilted and redùced in size, remove from the heat, stir in the soùr cream and then set aside.

6.    Preheat yoùr griddle pan over a mediùm/high heat. Spoon the spinach mixtùre into the centre of the mùshrooms, sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan and place them on the preheated griddle. Allow to cook for 10-12 minùtes - the mùshrooms will be done when they are jùicy, firm bùt tender and a glossy, dark brown coloùr.

7.    To make sùre yoùr cheese is extra golden brown and bùbbly, place the pan ùnder a hot grill for the last two minùtes of cooking time.

8.    Let them rest for a coùple of minùtes, then serve warm, with lots of crùsty bread!
