Ingredients
- 4 large portobello mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
- 1 cup wild rice, rinsed
- 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil and add the wild rice. Reduce to a simmer and cover, cooking for about 35-40 minutes or until tender.
While the rice is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the bell pepper and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the cooked wild rice, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Remove from heat and mix in both cheeses until evenly combined.
Stuff the portobello mushrooms with the wild rice mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.
Place the stuffed mushrooms in a baking dish, drizzling a little olive oil over each mushroom.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
