I created this vegan main dish recently and it is delicious! You could easily adapt this recipe to serve as a side dish or as an appetizer for any occasion: a potluck, holiday get together with family and friends or just a quick yummy meal to enjoy at home or while on a leisure travel adventure….
To use as an appetizer or side dish: just use the smaller “baby bella” brown organic mushrooms in place of the large Portobello mushroom.
The spicy soy chorizo pairs well with the earthy mushrooms!
Ingredients
2 portobello mushrooms
2 tbsp. olive oil
6 oz soy chorizo (remove from casing)
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/3 tsp garlic powder
1/3 tsp cinnamon
2 cups french bread or other vegan bread, cut 1/2″ diced ( I used 4 English style… English muffins)
1/3 cup vegan butter substitute, (Nature's Balance)
1/2 cup sweet onion, medium diced
1 celery ribs, de-thread, medium diced
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Wash Portobello mushrooms, pat dry. Remove mushroom stems.
- Using a teaspoon, remove and discard the dark brown gills from inside the mushrooms, set aside.
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet, saute' diced onions, celery, soy chorizo, dried cranberries and vegan butter on the stovetop or grill for 5 minutes over MEDIUM heat.
- Dice bread and place in a large bowl. Add the saute' ingredients, stir to combine.
- Spoon stuffing into the Portobello mushrooms. Return the mushrooms to the skillet and saute' on low for 10 – 15 minutes until the mushroom and stuffing are full cooked.
- Cover and refrigerate leftovers. Enjoy the leftovers over the next 2-3 days or freeze in zip top bags for up to 3 months.
NOTE: You can finish the cooking process in the convection oven if you prefer. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake stuffed mushrooms 20 minutes.
