SPINACH AND FETA MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Cook the damp spinach in a large pan for about 2 minutes-or until it has wilted.
• Drain really well, and chop coarsely.
• Mix the crumbled feta through the spinach.
• Preheat the broiler to medium.
• Place the mushrooms gill side up on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Season and drizzle over a little oil.
• Grill for 4-5 minutes or until tender.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan and cook the onion until golden.
• Stir in the spinach mixture and season to taste.
• Spoon the mix into the mushroom cups, sprinkle with a little shredded Parmesan and grill until it's golden.

FETA AND SPINACH STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• If your mushrooms caps are very rounded, trim a very thin slice from the top of the caps to help them sit upright for baking. Toss the mushroom caps with the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until just soft and wilted, 6 to 8 minutes. Scrape into a large bowl, season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and set aside to cool.
• Add the feta and basil to the cooled mushroom stem mixture. Stir in the breadcrumbs until well moistened.
• Pack each mushroom with an equal amount of filling and transfer the filled mushrooms to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is brown and crispy on top, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from the baking sheet.

SPINACH-FETA STUFFED MUSHROOMS CAPS (VEGETARIAN)

Steps:

• Set oven to 400 degrees.
• Place the mushroom caps onto a baking sheet stem-side down.
• Bake for about 6-8 minutes or long enough to release their moisture and dry out.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degree F.
• Turn the caps stem-side up then brush each cap with olive oil.
• Season each cap with coarse black pepper and a little salt.
• Place the spinach in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a little water; microwave on high allowing the water to boil with the spinach for about 5 minutes (this will release and mellow out the strong flavor in the spinach).
• Drain in a strainer and cool the spinach (I just run cold water over to cool faster).
• Hand-squeeze out ALL the moisture in the cooled spinach then place into a bowl.
• Add in feta cheese, onion, garlic, chopped fresh parsley and chopped walnuts; mix to combine well.
• Season with fresh coarse black pepper.
• Divide the mixture between the caps.
• Bake (350 degree F) uncovered for about 15 minutes.
