Ingredients
button mushrooms
18 (stems removed and bases trimmed)
bread
2 slices (low GI soy and linseed recommended, made into breadcrumbs)
anchovy fillets
3 (finely chopped)
garlic clove
1 (crushed and minced)
fresh basil
2 tablespoons (chopped)
fresh parsley
1 tablespoon (chopped)
lemon
1 (zest finely grated and juice of half)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).
2
Prepare a large baking tray by lining it with non-stick baking paper (parchment paper) to prevent sticking.
3
Carefully remove the stalks from the button mushrooms, ensuring not to break the caps. Trim a thin slice off the base of each stalk to create a flat surface.
4
In a food processor, pulse the bread slices until they turn into fine breadcrumbs. Set aside.
5
In a small non-stick skillet, combine the finely chopped anchovies and crushed garlic. Sauté over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant.
6
Add the prepared breadcrumbs to the skillet and continue cooking, stirring often, for 4 to 5 minutes or until the mixture is lightly toasted and golden brown.
7
Transfer the toasted breadcrumb mixture to a medium-sized bowl. Stir in the fresh basil, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and freshly squeezed lemon juice until everything is well combined.
8
Evenly distribute the filling across the hollowed mushroom caps, pressing down lightly to pack the mixture in.
9
Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the lined baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
10
Once baked, remove from the oven and serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack.
