Vegetable-stuffed Mushrooms SERVES: 2 Ingredients: 2 large Portobello mushrooms 2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1/2 onion, chopped in cubes 1 small courgette, chopped 1 tomato, chopped 1 clove garlic 1/4 tsp oregano 1/4 tsp thyme 1/4 tsp black pepper 50g (1.7oz) mozzarella cheese Method: Preheat the oven to 190º C (gas mark 5). Cut off the stems of the Portobello mushrooms using a sharp knife. With a spoon, carefully scrape out the ribbing and create a bowl in the under-side of the mushrooms. Dice all innards and set aside. In a non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil. Add the onion until it starts to sweat (2-3 min). Add the courgette and reserved mushroom innards and cook until just soft (3-5 min). Add the chopped tomatoes and spices. Sauté for an additional 3 minutes to combine the flavors. Remove from heat. Place mushroom caps, upside-down on a greased, foil-lined baking sheet. Gently fill the caps with the warm veggie mixture. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Top with a sprinkling of cheese and bake the mushrooms for another 10-12 mins until the cheese turn golden.
