Chutney and Cheese Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms is a delightful recipe that combines the savoury flavours of portobellos with the tanginess of tomato chutney and the creaminess of feta or homemade paneer.. Drizzled with olive oil, baked in the oven, and garnished with fresh coriander, these stuffed mushrooms make for a satisfying gluten-free, vegetarian meal or snack option. I have a few recipe variations for making stuffed mushrooms. This chutney and cheese stuffed portobello recipe is my favourite because it reminds me of a childhood favourite – Amma’s tomato chutney. Bake until the cheese melts, and top with fresh coriander. Enjoy this easy stuffed mushroom recipe for lunch, dinner or as a snack.

Why eat Portobello Mushrooms

Portobello mushrooms are essentially the mature form of brown Agaricus bisporus (commonly known as Swiss brown mushroom, Roman or Italian brown mushroom). Mushrooms are one of my favourite meat substitutes. Apart from taste and texture, its high vitamin D content makes it my essential meatless Monday ingredient, especially on cold, dark winter ones like today. They can have caps of up to 15cm in diameter, making them ideal for stuffing. They are low in calories and are the perfect canvas for creating various stuffed flavour combinations.

How to Prepare Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

To prepare the mushroom for stuffing, wash with cold water then pat dry with a towel. Scrape out the gills with a teaspoon and cut the stem. The stem can be reused. I chop it into small pieces and freeze it to make mushroom soup. This will provide a hollow for filling with stuffing.

I prefer to bake the mushrooms first before adding stuffing as this allows for excess
moisture to escape before adding the stuffing and other toppings.

How to Stuff Portobello Mushrooms

This recipe features a chutney stuffing. It is simply tomato chutney added to the cap and then covered
with feta cheese. Baked until the cheese melts.
