Ingredients
  

  • 24 large cremini mushrooms stems removed
  • 8 oz 225g good-quality feta cheese, crumbled
  • cups finely chopped fresh spinach or ½ cup thawed frozen, squeezed dry
  • cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil drained and finely chopped
  • ¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives finely chopped
  • ¼ cup pine nuts lightly toasted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 –3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • Optional garnish: fresh parsley lemon zest, extra pine nuts

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment – let’s do this!
  2. Gently remove mushroom stems (chop and freeze for soup later) and scoop out a little center with a spoon.
  3. Brush caps lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil, place hollow-side up, and bake 8–10 minutes to release moisture.
  4. While they bake, toast pine nuts in a dry skillet until golden – keep shaking the pan!
  5. In a bowl, combine crumbled feta, chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, toasted pine nuts, garlic, oregano, and pepper.
  6. Add 1–2 tablespoons of the sun-dried tomato oil (or regular olive oil) and mix until it holds together beautifully.
  7. Remove mushrooms from oven, blot any liquid, and let cool just 2 minutes.
  8. Stuff each cap generously with the feta mixture – press lightly so it stays put.
  9. Bake 10–12 minutes until mushrooms are tender and feta is lightly golden on top.
  10. Rest 5 minutes, drizzle with a thread of good olive oil, scatter parsley and lemon zest, then serve warm – oopa!
