Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms with Cheese Sauce

stuffed portobello mushrooms

If you love mushrooms like me, then you’re going to love this recipe! Not only are mushrooms delicious and a great meat substitute, but they contain antioxidants, vitamin D, selenium, B vitamins and more! This recipe has two easy elements: the veggies and the cheese sauce. We’re going to start with a mixture of sauteed onion, spinach and baby bellas, then spoon them into meaty portobello mushrooms and smother it all in cashew cheese sauce. Tastes great served with quinoa or brown rice. Hearty, flavorful, and full of nutrients!

Before we get going, let me talk about this cashew cheese for a moment, because it’s so good I could literally eat it in a bowl by itself. Just like many of my dessert recipes tend to include chocolate, I’m noticing many of my dinner recipes are tending to include this cashew cheese sauce. But hey, chocolate and cheese, two things people don’t want to give up when they go vegan – and they don’t have to!

cheesy portobello mushrooms

What You Need:

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small slice of red onion, minced
  • 7 baby bella mushrooms, diced into small pieces
  • 1 cup organic frozen chopped spinach
  • 2 large portobello mushrooms
  • Salt & pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Lemon juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water overnight or for several hours
  • 1 tbsp ground turmeric
  • ⅓ cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 cap of apple cider vinegar

What You Do:

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan on medium heat. Saute the red onion until it starts to brown. Add the diced baby bellas, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
  2. Add spinach to the mixture and cook another 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Pour veggie mixture into a bowl, cover and set aside.
  3. Wash large portobello mushrooms and remove the stems. Season the insides (side with the gills) with a little salt, garlic powder and lemon juice. Heat another tablespoon of olive oil and place the mushrooms with the inside face up in the pan. Cook about 10 minutes, flip and cook another 5 minutes. Pour out any liquid that forms in the pan.
  4. While these are cooking, make the cashew cheese. Rinse and drain cashews and place in a blender. Add the turmeric, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, juice from ½ a lemon, a couple sprinkles of garlic powder and a few pinches of salt. Blend until you have a thick cheese sauce. Add a little water if necessary and adjust seasonings to taste.
  5. Flip the portobellos back over with the insides facing up. Spoon veggie mixture on top, turn down to low, cover and let cook for 5 minutes.
  6. To serve, spoon cashew cheese on top and enjoy!

quinoa recipe

I served this dish with 1/4 cup of tri-color quinoa that I soaked overnight, then rinsed and drained. I cooked in 1/2 a cup of water for about 20 mins while making the mushrooms.

SERIAL KILLERS. Oh, do I have your attention?? 🧐 I visited the prison cemetery in Huntsville a few months back and discovered not only are 2 infamous serial killers buried there, but a cowboy from the prison rodeo who was killed by fellow inmates, and it was the first resting place of a prominent Kiowa chief named Satanta who committed suicide by jumping out the window at the Huntsville Penitentiary rather than spend life in prison. The link in my bio will take you to the full story and more photos from my visit to the cemetery 🪦

In the past week I made 2 deeeelicious lentil soup In the past week I made 2 deeeelicious lentil soups. The first is green lentils with potato and mushroom. The second is Greek Red Lentil soup that tastes like a gourmet tomato soup 🍅 and also has carrot, rosemary, lemon, and a hint of cumin. Both soups have kale because that makes them 💯% better.

One of the things that has interested me about the One of the things that has interested me about the horrific scene at the Capitol yesterday is the connection between veganism and colonialism. Some of the mob members yesterday were proudly covered in the skins of dead animals. To me, it's no surprise that white male supremacists are speceiests at their core. They believe they are inherently superior. They have historically compared people of color to animals, and treated them as sadistcally as they treat animals. In America, the government orchestrated the slaughtering of 60 million buffalo for no other reason than as a way to starve Indians into submission. Among other things, white supremacy and colonialism is linked to an obsession with killing, hunting, and dominating over others. So here are some bomb homemade VEGAN Butterfinger I made yesterday. Free of cruelty and made from plants. I'm not just vegan for the animals, I'm vegan for people because it is all connected.
