The best thing about these mushrooms are that you can change up the stuffing as much as you want! Maybe add some spices in there to, you know, spice it up a bit! Chilli would be nice, or turmeric for a nice yellow tinge! I used coriander, parsley, basil and spring onion in mine, but you could vary it up, depending on what you had on hand! All basil would be nice, or throw some thyme in. The choice is yours! If you do make a variation and it’s awesome, let us know in the comments! We’d love to hear from you!

There’s something really comforting about stuffed mushrooms. Perhaps it is the way they sit displaying all the goodness tucked away in a tender shell or maybe it’s the colour and scent of the mushroom combining itself eloquently with the goodness inside. They’re just so creamy and yummy and satisfying! We used quite large white mushrooms for this, but you could use small swiss brown for a nicer taste, or big portobello ones! These mushrooms are a great side to a main dish, or could be used as a main with some side veggies or salad.
