Recipe Tips
– You can use leeks in place of spring onions and parsley rather than basil.
– Spice it up with a pinch of chilli flakes or a teaspoon of smoked paprika.
– You could also stuff halved peppers in place of mushrooms.
– Freezing instructions: The mushrooms are suitable for freezing once cooked. Wrap individually in greaseproof paper and without the chopped tomatoes. Defrost for 2 hours, then warm in the microwave or a moderate oven.
– Any of the ingredients you are allergic to, please opt it out and replace it with something suitable for you.
– Serve with salad and a drizzle of Apple Chutney on top.
