Sun-Dried Tomato Stuffed Mushrooms
I made these baked sun-dried tomatoes stuffed mushrooms during Christmas. They are very easy to make, look festive and make a great appetizer on the dinner table. These portobello mushrooms are stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes, bacon and even the mushroom stalks (finely chopped) so that nothing goes to waste. Sun-dried tomatoes can be purchased at local supermarkets (such as NTUC Finest, Cold Storage). My family love the deep and rich tomato flavour of sun-dried tomatoes, even more than the actual fresh ones. Since the sun-dried tomatoes are usually soaked in oil in a glass jar, it is a handy ingredient to have in the pantry.

After baking in the oven with some parmesan cheese, the portobello mushrooms are juicy and bursting with flavours. This is a fail-safe and simple recipe which I love making whenever I see fresh portobello mushrooms in the supermarket.

Before baking
Sun-Dried Tomato Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe
The bacon adds extra flavour to the stuffing mixture, but you may omit it and replace with a tablespoon of olive oil, if preferred.
Ingredients:
- 1 slice streaky bacon diced
- 10 grams butter
- 8 shallots minced
- 4 large portobello mushrooms stalks removed & finely chopped, caps clean and patted dry
- 40 grams sun-dried tomatoes finely chopped
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil divided
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- freshly black pepper to taste
- lemon wedges to serve
- chopped parsley or basil to serve
Directions:
- In a pan, add bacon and butter, saute until the oil from the bacon is rendered.
- Add shallots, chopped mushroom stalk and half of the sundried tomatoes, stir fry or saute until shallots are softened. Season with a small pinch of salt. Set aside the stuffing mixture.
- Brush outer mushroom caps with half of the olive oil. Place mushrooms, cap side down, on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Divide and top mushrooms with stuffing mixture, a layer of cheese and topped with the remaining sun-dried tomatoes. Season with black pepper. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the mushrooms.
- Baked in preheated oven of 200°C (392°F) for 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are cooked. Garnish with parsley or basil, and serve with lemon wedges at the side.
