This great little recipe came about because I had picked up some more marked down, field mushroom from Woolworths. I had made some stuffed mushrooms recently using this recipe and we loved them so much, I thought I would make them again. However I had a pack of chorizo left over from the previous week and I imagined that chorizo and mushrooms would be great friends, and they were. So I came up with this recipe and it is a corker. The cream cheese plus the grated vintage cheese are a wonderful carrier of flavour for the pan fried chorizo and the zesty lemon cuts the richness of the cheese beautifully.
This amount was perfect for eight large field mushrooms, but you could easily halve the recipe.
Ingredients for Stuffed Mushrooms with Cheese and Chorizo, clockwise from top right-8 large field mushrooms, stalks removed and roughly chopped, zest of one lemon plus 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, 1 cup of grated cheese of choice, halved, 1 spring onion, finely chopped, reserving the dark green ends, a good handful of parsley, finely chopped, 1 block of cream cheese (I use the Aldi brand) and 2 Chorizo sausages, cut into quarters, lengthways and then finely chopped
In a non stick, heavy based fry pan, add a little oil and on medium heat, sauté the chorizo, white/light green part of spring onion and roughly chopped stalks of mushrooms. Sauté till golden and set aside to cool
To a bowl, add the cream cheese, lemon zest and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, finely chopped dark green part of spring onion, finely chopped parsley and 1/2 of the grated cheese, mix well
Now add cooled chorizo mixture
And mix thoroughly
Spoon and press into mushroom cavity and top with a little grated cheese
Bake in a 180C oven for 10 minutes or so until golden brown and the mushrooms have started to soften
Such a lovely dinner, easy and delicious. I served ours with wilted spinach.
Just a reminder I have a page on this blog called "Did you make it, show us" so if you happen to make this or any of the recipes on my blog you can send in a photo of it and I will post it on this page.
Have a lovely day,
