You've Got the Right Stuff, Baby....I'm talking about these Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms

Great, now I have the New Kids' song stuck in my head and apologize if you do as well.  Portabella mushrooms are a great substitute for meat dishes and are very appealing for non-vegans as well!  This is a nice, hearty recipe, using soy chorizo to put a fun little spin on this pretty well known dish.

                     Vegan Soy Chorizo Stuffed Portabella

Trader Joe's has a very flavorful vegan soy chorizo.  Does it taste like the real stuff?  I really haven't a clue because I haven't had meat in over 20 years.

If you are soy free, you can chop up some raw walnuts or pecans and season them with Mexican spices. This will give you the same flavor profile and is a fun, unique change.




Ingredients:
portabella mushrooms (cleaned and destemmed)  save the stems filling
3-4 button mushrooms chopped
1 garlic clove chopped
1/4 yellow onion chopped
1/2 package of Trader Joe's Soy Chorizo
1/4 tomato chopped
handful of spinach
whole wheat bread crumbs
evoo
s + p

Directions
Preheat oven to 350.  Brush the portabella's with evoo, season and put in oven for 10-15 minutes.  In the meantime, sautee the rest of the ingredients, except for the bread crumbs and spinach.  Once the veggies are golden brown, add in the spinach until wilted.
Stuff the mushrooms with the filling and dust the tops with the whole wheat bread crumbs.  Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Now STUFF you face!
