Walnut-Stuffed Mushrooms

Serves 4

30 minutes or fewer

Four of these omega-3-packed bites served over grains makes a great supper.
  • 1 cup walnut halves, plus 16 more for garnish
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • ½ cup cooked brown lentils
  • 4 tsp. balsamic vinegar, divided
  • 1 tsp. dried rubbed sage
  • 1 tsp. toasted walnut oil
  • 16 large button mushrooms (2-inch diameter), stems removed
  • 1 Tbs. olive oil
  • ½ cup low-sodium vegetable broth

1. Purée 1 cup walnuts with parsley and garlic in food processor until thick and pasty. Add lentils, 2 tsp. vinegar, sage, and walnut oil; purée until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.

2. Fill each mushroom cap with 11/2 Tbs. walnut mixture, and press remaining walnut halves into filling. Place on plate.

3. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, round side down, and cook 5 minutes, 
or until mushrooms begin to release their juices and brown on bottom, shaking pan occasionally. Carefully 
add broth to pan, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 10 to 15 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender and filling has puffed and browned slightly. Remove mushrooms from pan, then add remaining 2 tsp. vinegar 
to pan. Simmer 1 to 2 minutes, or until sauce thickens slightly. Serve 
mushrooms drizzled with sauce.

This recipe is delicous, I just tried it out for fun as I had too many walnuts. Everyone loved it and it is now one of my favourite recipes.

Made these a few times. They are pretty good.

Made these tonight, and I added 1/2 of a seeded and ribbed jalepeno for some kick. The "stuffing" is outstanding...it could easily double as a tahini sauce.

These were easy & delicious. We enjoyed them as the main part of our dinner with a beautiful green salad. My husband cooked them on our grill & they were fabulous! I used about half the walnuts to cut some calories & didn't garnish with additional walnuts. Also, chopped the mushroom stems & added them to the lentil mixture. Yummy recipe that I would be proud to serve to meat eaters.

Made these and feel like they need something... something a little spicy? Not sure, they came out kinda bland but it was an interesting recipe to try!
