Description
These Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms are a fast and easy party appetizer! They are filled with nutty walnuts, salty olives, and fresh herbs and finished with a drizzle of sweet balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16-20 large crimini mushrooms
- 1/2 cup chopped white onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3/4 cup natural green olives, (not brined but packed in water)
- 3/4 cup walnuts
- 2 teaspoons coconut vinegar OR white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Use a damp towel to wipe off any dirt from the mushrooms. Remove the mushroom stems and add them to a food processor fitted with the S blade. Add in the onions and garlic. Pulse to finely chop the mixture.
- Over medium heat, heat the oil in a skillet. Once the oil is warm, add in the mushroom stems, onion, and garlic mixture. Stir in the salt and pepper. Saute until the mushrooms have released their moisture and the mixture is softened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl.
- Add the walnuts, olives, coconut vinegar, and thyme leaves into the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped. Add this to the bowl and stir to combine.
- Line up the mushrooms, stem side up, on a baking tray lined with nonstick foil. Fill each mushroom cap with some of the filling. Bake for 35-45 minutes. Drizzle with balsamic reduction and serve.
Notes
Mushrooms vary in size. One time I made this recipe and it filled 40 small mushrooms, and another time, only 15 large mushrooms. It all will depend on the size of the mushrooms you purchase. If you have extra filling, stuff a large portobello and have one big personal stuffed mushroom as an entree the next day.
