FETA AND SPINACH STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• If your mushrooms caps are very rounded, trim a very thin slice from the top of the caps to help them sit upright for baking. Toss the mushroom caps with the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until just soft and wilted, 6 to 8 minutes. Scrape into a large bowl, season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and set aside to cool.
• Add the feta and basil to the cooled mushroom stem mixture. Stir in the breadcrumbs until well moistened.
• Pack each mushroom with an equal amount of filling and transfer the filled mushrooms to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is brown and crispy on top, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from the baking sheet.

Season lightly with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• For the topping: In a food processor, add the breadcrumbs, walnuts, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Pulse to combine, then, with the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. The mixture should be crumbly and easy to sprinkle.
• For the mushrooms: Stuff each mushroom with an equal amount of the filling. Sprinkle an equal amount of topping over each mushroom. Place on a baking sheet and bake until the tops are golden and the mushrooms are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.

ROASTED MUSHROOMS STUFFED WITH FETA, SPINACH, AND BACON

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook bacon in heavy large skillet until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Coarsely crumble bacon. Discard all but 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons bacon fat (adding olive oil if necessary to equal that amount).
• Heat 2 teaspoons reserved bacon fat in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl and cool; mix in bacon, spinach, feta, cream cheese, and crushed red pepper. Season filling to taste with salt and pepper.
• Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with foil. Toss mushrooms and reserved 1/4 cup bacon fat in large bowl to coat. Sprinkle mushrooms with salt and pepper. Place mushrooms, rounded side down, in single layer on prepared baking sheets. Bake mushrooms until centers fill with liquid, about 25 minutes. Turn mushrooms over. Bake mushrooms until brown and liquid evaporates, about 20 minutes longer. Turn mushrooms over again. Spoon 1 heaping teaspoon filling into each mushroom cavity. (Filled mushrooms can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

FETA & TOMATO STUFFED MUSHROOM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170C(Fan)/190C/ 375F/Gas 5.
• Remove the large mushrooms and wipe off any dirt. Finely slice one clove of garlic and place around 3 slices in each mushroom. Dot a few bits of unsalted butter around the mushroom and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
• Crumble half to a whole packet of feta evenly over both mushrooms. Remove 2 sundried tomatoes per mushroom and place in the shape of a cross over the top of the feta. Give the mushrooms a further seasoning (not too much salt as the feta is salty enough) and drizzle a small amount of the oil from the sundried tomatoes jar over the top. Drizzle 1-2 tbsp more of the oil on the bottom of a large baking dish and swirl the underside of the mushrooms in the oil before setting in the tray. This will help to prevent sticking as well as marinate the mushrooms. Place in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
• To prepare the side salad simply add chopped cucumber and cherry tomatoes to half a packet of rocket. If you want, also add some prepared crab meat at this time also. Squeeze around 1-2tbsp of lemon juice over the top, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss together.
• After the mushrooms are ready, remove from the baking dish and plate up along with the salad. Pour over any of the mushroom juices that are left in the dish - they could act as a warm dressing on the salad themselves!
• And Enjoy!
