No comments
These can be prepared in advance up to the baking stage. Store on a baking sheet in the fridge.
 

Ingredients

  • 4 large field or Portabello mushrooms
  • 50g pinenuts
  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 rashers bacon, smoked or unsmoked, finely chopped (optional)
  • 300g fresh spinach, washed and heavy stalks removed
  • 6 TBSP fresh breadcrumbs (from bread made without milk or eggs)
  • pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • salt and black pepper
Serves: 4 Preparation: 20 Cook Time: 30 Total Time: 50min whats this
 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to C. Carefully cut out the centre stem of the mushrooms. Lay the pine nuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for minutes until just beginning to colour, taking care not to let them burn. Set aside.
  2. Heat tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan and fry the shallots and bacon pieces, if using, until soft but not coloured, about minutes. Add the spinach leaves, cover the pan and cook for a minute or two until leaves have wilted. (No need to add extra water?the water on the leaves will be enough to cook the spinach.)
  3. Place the cooked spinach mixture between two plates and squeeze out as much water as you can. Chop the cooked spinach roughly and place in a bowl, along with the toasted pine nuts, tablespoons of the breadcrumbs, nutmeg, salt and pepper and mix well to combine.
