Ingredients
  

  • 10 medium / 5 large portobello mushrooms approx 350-400g*
  • 3 tablespoons butter divided
  • 2 teaspoons garlic puree or crushed garlic
  • 200 g baby spinach leaves
  • 3-4 tablespoons sour cream or could use softened cream cheese
  • 4-5 tablespoons parmesan cheese freshly grated

Instructions
 

  • Remove the stems from the mushrooms (I just gently slide a knife around the base of the stem and it usually pops off quite easily) and wipe any dirt off with a paper towel.
  • Melt one tablespoon of the butter, and brush over the mushrooms, inside and out. Set aside.
  • Finely chop the mushrooms stems. In a large pan or skillet, heat the remaining butter, add the chopped mushroom stems and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic puree, stir and cook for another couple of minutes.
  • Add the spinach to the pan (it looks a huge amount, but will wilt down really quickly, just add it a handful at a time!) Stir to coat the spinach in the garlicky butter.
  • Once the spinach is wilted and reduced in size, remove from the heat, stir in the sour cream and then set aside.
  • Preheat your griddle pan over a medium/high heat. Spoon the spinach mixture into the centre of the mushrooms, sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan and place them on the preheated griddle. Allow to cook for 10-12 minutes - the mushrooms will be done when they are juicy, firm but tender and a glossy, dark brown colour.
  • To make sure your cheese is extra golden brown and bubbly, place the pan under a hot grill for the last two minutes of cooking time.
  • Let them rest for a couple of minutes, then serve warm, with lots of crusty bread!

Notes

*Mine were sold as "mini portobello" but I would actually class them as medium, around 3 - 3.5 inches in diameter.
