    Instructions

    • Pre heat oven to 350° F
    • Clean mushrooms and gently remove the stems from them. Toss the mushroom caps with ½ tablespoon olive oil and place them cut side up on a baking sheet. Finely chop the stems.

    Make filling

    • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet. When hot, add chopped mushroom stems, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes and kale. Cook over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, for onions and kale to soften.
    • Add all group-2 ingredients and continue stirring for about a minute to toast cashews and bread crumbs. Take off heat.

    Stuff & bake

    • Using a small spoon, fill mushroom caps with the filling (try to pack them well). Pile any remaining filling on top. Drizzle few drops of melted butter over each mushroom (Optional step). Sprinkle some grated parmesan on top.
    • Bake mushrooms for 8 to 10 minutes, until mushrooms have softened (don't let it get too soft). Remove from oven and sprinkle more parmesan on top.

    Notes

    Cashews - Use raw cashews and not toasted. Chop or crush them into tiny pieces (not into a powder and not big chunks either).
    Salt - Mushrooms are very bland. So it is important to season the filling very well.
    Olive oil - Olive oil might feel a bit too much for the filling, but this recipe requires that amount for binding the filling together.
    Bake time - Baking time will depend on the size of mushrooms. 8 minutes for smaller ones and 9-10 minutes for larger ones. Bake just until the mushrooms feel soft.
    Breadcrumbs - Panko is recommended for this recipe, since it adds a crispy and lighter not to the filling when compared to the regular breadcrumbs.
    To clean mushrooms- If your mushrooms are not very dirty, then you could wipe them gently using a wet paper towel. Else, a SUPER QUICK scrub and rinse under running water will do the trick in removing all the dirt and grime. Make sure to pat them dry immediately with a kitchen towel.
    Leftovers - Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in microwave or in a 400° F oven for few minutes, just until warmed through.
