Ingredients

• 4 large Portabella mushroom caps
• 200 grams Ground chorizo sausage
• 120 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 medium Red bell pepper, finely diced
• 1 medium Shallot, minced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Breadcrumbs (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and scoop out the gills with a spoon to create space for the filling.

Step 3

Brush each mushroom cap with 1 tablespoon of olive oil on both sides and place them on the prepared baking sheet, gill side up.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shallot and cook for 1-2 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the ground chorizo and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles with a spoon.

Step 6

Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese and the breadcrumbs, if using. This will help bind the filling.

Step 8

Spoon the chorizo mixture evenly into the mushroom caps, pressing it gently into the caps. Top each filled mushroom with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 9

Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the mushrooms are tender.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your Chorizo Cheddar Stuffed Portabella Caps!
