– Cook for 3-4 minutes, then add the spinach and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes, mixing regularly.
– Remove from the heat and mix in the tahini, mustard and basil.
– Mound each mushroom with the tofu mixture and bake for 15- 20 minutes. Top with chopped tomatoes and serve.
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.
