Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms

Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms

This is not exactly my recipe, and I don’t make these very often. This is my mum’s recipe that I force her to make for us every time we are together. My mum is the mushroom queen, she has so many delicious ideas with mushrooms. Since she is stuck in stage 4 Melbourne lockdown right now, I haven’t seen her in about 3 months or so which is really sad. I asked her to share the recipe with me so I can make these mushrooms myself. Even though me and mum cook in a completely different way, there are some foods that she makes that I love and I miss them! Mine never turn out as good as hers, but at least it’s close. They have a, what I think of as a more distinct Romanian/Eastern European flavour to them. That is how my mum cooks and it’s the flavours I grew up with. We love having these mushrooms with a big serving of mashed potatoes (also very Romanian thing) and a salad. They also work really well as an appetizer or as finger food at a party. The mushrooms are best eaten fresh but they are also delicious the next day. I’m always iffy about having mushrooms the next day because they can get a bit soggy and slimy but these held up ok and were still just as yummy!

Lately, I have been loving the super fresh local mushroom from Your Food Collective   

Your Food Collective is an online farmers market that delivers fresh local produce to your door. I didn’t think there would be much of a difference in taste when it comes to mushrooms, but there is! They are much firmer, fresher with a better flavour. This service makes it hard for me to buy supermarket food anymore because I can taste the difference. I love mushrooms because they are a good source of iron and if they are grown in the sun they are also a good source of dietary vitamin D. They are my go-to during my menstrual phase.
