What You'll Need
Ingredients
- Garlic Powder - The Flavour of the Garlic but without the moisture content of fresh, which makes it perfect for making this crumb.
- Miso Paste - Miso is rich in essential minerals and a good source of various B Vitamins, Vitamins E, K and Folic Acid. As a fermented food, Miso provides the gut with beneficial bacteria that help us to stay healthy, vibrant and happy; good gut health is known to be linked to our overall mental and physical well being and health. Look for this in the Asian foods section of shops and supermarkets.
- Nutritional Yeast - A favourite among Vegans for giving a cheesy taste to food. We use it in our Vegan Parmesan and Cashew Mac & Cheese. I've found that most Supermarkets stock this, and it can be found in almost every health food store. It's usually fortified with Vitamin B12 as well, which is a bonus.Onion Powder - The flavour of onion, without the water content of fresh, makes this perfect for this crumb.
- Panko Breadcrumbs - Panko are made from a crustless white bread that is processed into flakes and then dried. These bread crumbs have a dryer and flakier consistency than regular breadcrumbs, and as a result they absorb less oil. Panko produces a much lighter, tastier and crunchier topping for these mushrooms than normal breadcrumbs.
- Black Pepper - a seasoning that we frequently use as it really does add that something special to a dish. Pepper by name, Peppery by nature. A little goes a long way.
- Portobello Mushrooms - Portobello Mushrooms are generally larger than normal mushrooms. This means you can get more of the stuffing and topping onto them, which means more of the delicious flavour on your plate. Portobello's are a fairly firm and meaty mushroom, which also works really well when making these stuffed mushrooms.
- Sea Salt - It's easy to become a little worried about using salt in recipes especially when it comes to feeding children. But it's important to note that salt is important for our health too, we need it as much as we need other nutrients. The key is to not add too-much. Its an optional ingredient, but a little really does add to the flavour.
- Smoked Paprika - A warm and smokey spice that adds depth to the flavour of the crumb.
- Sun-dried Tomatoes - These are a great way to add bursts of flavour to a dish, and can also be used to add richness to recipes. Typically these are found jarred in stores, but you can also buy semi-dried tomatoes from deli counters. The semi-dried are less intense in flavour but just as delicious.
- Fresh Thyme - We use fresh rather than dried Thyme in the crumb for this recipe as dried thyme really needs to be cooked with a certain amount of moisture in order for it to release its flavour into the dish. Fresh thyme packs an amazing flavour punch before it even hits the crumb mixture.
- Vegan Feta - We add vegan feta to the crumb when we make these stuffed mushrooms as we love the way it melts in amongst the crumb when they are baked. We think it just take them to the next level on the taste scale.

FAQ's
Are vegan stuffed portobello mushrooms healthy ?
If you follow this recipe then they are. The only oil in this mushroom recipe is the residual in the sun-dried tomato and garlic paste. And the crumb has no added fat as the cheesy flavour comes from nutritional yeast.
How long do stuffed portobello mushrooms keep in the fridge ?
You can keep stuffed mushrooms, cooked or uncooked, for 3 to 5 days, but more often than not, they will end up soggy.
Stuffed mushrooms are generally better when eaten hot. So assuming you want them hot why not do all of the prep but then keep the constituent parts separately ? This way the components will keep for 3 to 5 days and it only takes a couple of minutes to construct the stuffed mushrooms.
Result: Fresh Stuffed Mushrooms, instead of reheated, soggy ones! 😉

Notes
When de-stalking a mushroom, I find it easiest to cup it in one hand, and then gently apply pressure to the side of the stalk with the thumb of the other hand. With practice, the stalk will usually come away whole. If necessary pick any pieces off carefully, if the stalk doesn't come away in one piece.

I fancied something different for breakfast, so thought I'd give these try. I'm glad I did, they definitely beat having toast!
