I was at a cookery event with Aunt Bessie’s this week and they were kind enough to share with us this delicious vegetarian recipe for stuffed mushrooms.

This recipe has a perfect balance of crispy, smooth, sweet and mild flavours. I could have eaten ten of them.

Here’s how to make these festive stuffed mushrooms.

Ingredients

8 large flat mushrooms
2 shallots
25g (1 oz) butter
2 tbsp dried cranberries chopped and soaked in boiling water
2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
Leaves from 2 thyme springs
2 tbsp white breadcrumbs
125g (4.5 oz) soft goat’s cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C/390F (180C/355F fan)
Pull the stalks off the mushrooms and chop finely with the shallots
Heat the butter and oil in a pan and fry the chopped stalks and shallots for 5 minutes until soft, then leave aside to cool
Drain the cranberries and add to the mix along with the pine nuts, thyme leaves and breadcrumbs, stir well
Crumble in the goats cheese, season with salt and pepper and mix well
