Portobello mushrooms are a versatile and hearty ingredient that can serve as a delicious vessel for a variety of fillings. In this recipe, we combine tender fish and nutritious spinach to create a shellfish-free, flavorful dish perfect for a healthy dinner or appetizer.
Ingredients Needed
- 4 large Portobello mushrooms
- 1 cup cooked flaky white fish (such as cod or haddock)
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: lemon wedges for serving
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the Portobello mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and set aside for the filling.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Flake the cooked fish into the bowl and add Parmesan cheese. Mix well, then season with salt and pepper.
Brush the mushroom caps with the remaining olive oil and stuff them generously with the fish and spinach mixture. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown on top. Serve hot with lemon wedges if desired.
