Hummus Stuffed Portobello Caps Recipes

Steps:

• Remove stems from portobello mushrooms.
• Arrange the mushroom caps, bottoms up, on a medium baking sheet.
• Chop the stems and set aside.
• Place turkey sausage link on a small baking sheet.
• Cook uncovered in the preheated oven 15 minutes, or until the interior is no longer pink.
• Remove from heat and chop.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, mix together chopped mushroom stems, chopped sausage, chopped garlic, crushed garlic, cayenne pepper, black pepper and seasoned bread crumbs.
• Slowly cook and stir 5 to 7 minutes, or until bread crumbs begin to brown.
• Remove from heat, allow to cool approximately 10 minutes and transfer to a medium bowl.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix cream cheese and Parmesan cheese into the mushroom stem mixture.
• Stuff the mushroom caps with the mixture.
• Bake stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven 20 minutes, or until stuffing is lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In large skillet, sauté the onions and cashews with 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and sauté until onions are soft and lightly browned. Add garlic and let cook a few more minutes.
• In a large bowl combine onion mixture, brown rice, lentils, breadcrumbs, vegetable broth, basil and thyme. Mix together and season to taste with salt and pepper. (The stuffing can be made up to three days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.)
• Brush both sides of mushroom caps lightly with olive oil and place top-side down on an oiled sheet pan. Stuff mushrooms with about 1/2 cup lentil cashew stuffing, then press one tomato slice on top of the stuffing. (The mushrooms can be stuffed and assembled on a baking tray the day before you plan to bake and serve them.)
• Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the stuffing is browned and the mushroom begins releasing juices. Garnish with extra fresh thyme leaves.
