Spinach, Bacon and Feta, Stuffed Mushrooms

Hello Dear Reader,


I love mushrooms, simply love them, especially the really big field ones or the portobellos. When I was young I remember going mushroom picking, bringing them home and Mum would simply fry them in butter. What a treat they were.

Last week, when I saw 2 trays of portobellos marked down, I knew stuffed mushrooms had to be on the menu. I googled quite a few different recipes and todays is a combination of them. Spinach, Bacon, Feta, Garlic Crumb and Lemon Zest are the stars of the show supported by some grated cheese which melts beautifully over the top, add a good grating of parmesan on serving and you have the most delicious mouthful ever.

Ingredients for Spinach, Bacon and Feta, Stuffed Mushrooms, clockwise from centre top-
12 large field or portobello mushrooms, brushed with moist paper towel, stalks removed (chop stalks finely, set aside till needed), a big bunch of spinach, washed, drained and sautéed with the finely chopped mushroom stalks, drained well, 200 grams of Danish feta, crumbled, a good handful of parsley, finely chopped, zest of one lemon, 3 bacon rashers, finely chopped, fried and drained well, 2 cups of breadcrumbs, sautéed for 5 minutes on medium heat with 30 grams of butter, a splash of oil and 2 garlic cloves, grated on a microplane, till golden 

Add all ingredients except mushrooms to a big bowl

Stir gently to combine well, make sure all the spinach had separated nicely 

Pile stuffing into mushrooms 

Sprinkle over cheese of choice, I used just a little grated vintage and then bake at 200 C for 20 minutes 

Grate over some parmesan just before eating. 

As I said, these mushrooms are the most delicious mouthful, that combination of salty bacon and feta, the crunchy garlic crumbs and the tender spinach and melted cheese is just fantastic. 

So tell me, do you have memories of mushroom picking? How do you like to cook your mushrooms?

Have a lovely day,
💗Fi
