Ingredients
  

  • 12 large button mushrooms stems removed
  • 100 g blue cheese crumbled
  • 50 g walnuts chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar optional

Method
 

  1. Prepare the mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth, removing the stems gently. Set the caps aside.
  2. Toast the walnuts: In a dry pan, toast the walnuts over medium heat for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
  3. Make the filling: In a bowl, mix the crumbled blue cheese, chopped walnuts, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add a bit of olive oil if the mixture feels dry.
  4. Stuff the mushrooms: Spoon the filling into each mushroom cap, pressing gently to pack it in.
  5. Cook the mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Place the stuffed mushrooms in the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden.
  6. Serve: Drizzle with balsamic vinegar if desired and garnish with extra parsley before serving.

Notes

For a richer taste, add a little cream cheese to the blue cheese mixture. Serve with a fresh salad or as a side dish.
