Stuffed mushrooms are a popular restaurant appetizer that arrive to the table with cheese oozing from all sides. And many also use breadcrumbs in their stuffing. Well that just won’t do for those with dairy and gluten intolerances.
For this recipe I used a mix of nutritional yeast, coconut milk and lemon to give that cheesy flavor. Try substituting ground lamb for the beef in these. You’ll have a wonderful Greek flavor profile!
Fun mushroom fact: Cremini mushrooms are closely related to the portobello and are sometimes called “baby bella” or baby portobello mushrooms.
And because it would be wrong not to include this:
Why did the Mushroom get invited to all the parties?
‘Cuz he’s a fungi!
