Tasty and unusual gourmet food fusion.
Ingredients
- 250g fresh spinach, cleaned
- 400g mushrooms (4 large button mushrooms), stems separated from caps
- ½ tbs butter
- ½ onion, chopped
- 250g ricotta cheese
- 50g Gorgonzola cheese (or any blue cheese of your choice)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Fresh chives, chopped
- 2 tbs breadcrumbs, homemade
- 2 tbs Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbs olive oil
- Chow Mein noodles:
- 400g Chow Mein Noodles or rice pasta
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tbs sour cream
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- Parsley for sprinkling, chopped
Directions
- Blanch the spinach in a very little water in the microwave oven for 3 minutes on MAX. Drain and coarsely chop. Chop mushroom stems in a blender.
- Melt the butter over low heat, add the onion and cook for 1 minute. Add chopped mushroom stems, and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring often.
- Add chopped spinach; stir well and sauté 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Mix and combine with a fork in a separate bowl ricotta, blue cheese, chives and pepper into a fine mixture, almost a paste.
- Add chopped stalks and spinach mixture, stir and combine thoroughly.
- Using a small teaspoon, place mounds of filling on the top of each mushroom cap, pressing slightly to get it down into the cavity.
- Mix breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese, sprinkle evenly over each mushroom. Drizzle each filled cap with olive oil.
- Place the mushroom caps on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicon sheet, and bake in the oven at 180°C for 20 minutes or until the cheese browns a little. Allow to cool for 5 minutes or so before serving.
- Meanwhile cook the Chow Mein or rice noodles as directed on the package; drain.
- Mix and combine garlic, sour cream and salt and stir into the cooked pasta.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and served with stuffed mushrooms.
