Meaty Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

I chose to make this dish with a meaty filling of minced beef however if you are vegetarian there are so many other delicious fillings to choose from, such as: Spinach, Ricotta & Pine Nuts, Goats Cheese & Sun Dried Tomatoes, the list is endless!

Ingredients:
(Serves Two)

4 Large Portobello Mushrooms
1 Shallot, chopped
50g Minced Beef
1/2 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
12 Cherry Tomatoes, quartered
50g Feta Cheese
8tsp Breadcrumbs
Salt & Pepper
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Preheat oven to 180C

Scoop out the stump of the mushrooms, dice and set aside.

Brush the mushrooms all over with a little oil, season with salt and pepper then place on a non-stick baking tray and roast for 8-10mins until the mushrooms a slightly soft. Remove from the oven and set aside. Turn the oven heat up to 200C.

Heat a pan with a little olive oil then add the shallot for 1min. Stir in the minced beef and brown evenly for 2mins. Add the tomatoes, cayenne pepper and a pinch of salt, stir until tomatoes start to soften.

Take off the heat and stir in the feta cheese.

Spoon the mixture evenly into the mushroom casings and top with breadcrumbs.

Roast in a 200C oven for 5-6mins.

On serving drizzle with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar and serve with a peppery Rocket & Tomato Salad.

Chickpea Burgers

I am conscious of what I eat during the week and that variety is important so not to get bored and reach for the biscuit tin, time is also a big constraint on what goes on the menu. The last thing I want to do after a long day’s work is sweat over a hot stove for hours on end, so I am always looking for simple, quick and more importantly TASTY options to bring to the dining table. Ingredients: 1 can of chickpeas 1 carrot 2 shallots 1 large egg 2 tbsp breadcrumbs Salt & pepper Ground Cumin Cayenne Pepper Grate the carrots and chop the shallots finely (or whizz in a food processor with the grater attachment), transfer to a pan with a little olive oil and sweat for a few minutes to sweeten the shallots slightly, set aside. Drain and rinse the chickpeas and put them into a food processor with all the spices, salt and pepper. Slightly pulse for a rough and chunky paste. Stir in the carrot, shallots, egg, and breadcrumbs until evenly mixed. Time to get you

Dust the baking tray with flour and lie the base piece of puff pastry onto the tray. Spread a generous amount of tomato puree on the pastry leaving a 1cm border all the way round the base. Crumble 200g of feta cheese onto the base, add the spinach keeping the 1cm border clear, then scatter the remaining 150g of feta cheese on top. Co
