Instructions
- Wash and scrub the bellas. Pat dry. Brush olive oil all over and place with tops down on parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle a little salt, pepper and thyme on the bellas.
- For stuffing: In a bowl, add chickpeas and mash well. Add all the ingredients till black pepper and mix well. Taste and adjust salt and seasoning.
- NOTE: If you like your veggies well cooked, then saute the onions and carrots in oil, for 4-5 minutes on low-medium heat. Then add to chickpea mixture.
- When ready to use the stuffing to stuff the portabellas (or to stuff bell peppers or tomatoes or squash) add the cashews, bread crumbs and oil and mix well. Add a few tsp broth or water if the mixture feels too crumbly.
- Stuff the seasoned mushrooms with the stuffing. Top with tomato slices. Bake in preheated 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes, or until the mushrooms are well done and the stuffing is golden. Or, they can be grilled on the BBQ for equally good taste!
