Pan Fried ‘Stuffed’ Cremini

Mushrooms are wonderful ‘meaty’ food, and that coming from a vegan 😉! In fact, they are often a substitute for meat as they can have strong flavours, good chewiness and are high in protein.
 
I just think they are a super food and with only a little salt, can taste so good.
 
When you want to make them part of a meal, perhaps the easiest thing to do is to add a nice dollop of Hungry Soul vegan cream cheese. I know you may think I am biased suggesting the use of the Hungry Soul cream cheese, but just try it, I think you will agree that the choice is the right one.
 
Of course, the added fresh garlic and herbs are necessary for the overall final burst of flavour.

Recipe
Makes enough for 4 servings
 
INGREDIENTS

• 8 to 12 large cremini or button mushrooms caps - stems removed
• 2 or 3 garlic cloves – minced
• A big handful of fresh parsley – finely chopped
• A tub of Original / Natural Hungry Soul vegan cream cheese
• A drizzle of olive oil
• A pinch or two of sea salt
• A grind for fresh black pepper

 
METHOD

1. Spread out your mushroom caps onto a very lightly oiled pan on medium heat.
2. Divide the minced garlic into each cap.
3. Do the same with the chopped parsley.
4. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper into each cap.
5. Drop a dollop of Hungry Soul cream cheese into each cap and a light drizzle of olive oil
6. Cover the pan and allow the mushrooms to cook for max 10 minutes.
7. That should be enough, you want the mushrooms still a little firm.

 
Serve two or three to a plate along with a nice serving of piping hot mashed potatoes and wilted greens such as kale or spinach.
 
Bon appétit !
