Background
This mushroom stuffed with spiced beans is perfect for a vegan or vegetarian meal, served with some boiled rice, bread or salad on the side. Alternatively, you could serve it as a side dish - it would go well with steak, pork or chicken.
Ingredients
- 4 large chestnut mushroom
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 shallot or ½ red onion
- 1 clove of garlic, chopped
- ½ red bell pepper
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 pinch (or more) cayenne
- ½ tsp cumin powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 Tbsp tomato purée
- ½ small tin of corn
- ½ tin beans (black, kidney or brown)
- 1 Tbsp chopped coriander leaves
- 4 Tbsp grated cheese (Manchego or plant-based alternative)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C or put the grill setting to medium.
- Cut out the stalks of the mushrooms, then chop these finely. Put the mushroom onto a greased baking tray.
- Finely chop the onion and garlic. Cut the red pepper into tiny cubes.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently soften the onion, garlic, mushroom and red pepper pieces. This should take about 8 minutes.
- Add the herbs and spices, stir for a minute then stir in the tomato purée. Add the drained beans and corn. Add a drop of water. Cook for a couple of minutes, while stirring. You should get a thick filling - the tomato "sauce" should not be runny, so reduce it if needed.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped fresh coriander.
- Stuff the mushrooms with the filling, and scatter the grated cheese on top.
- Bake or grill in the oven until the cheese has melted.
- Serve warm.
