What comes to mind when you think of Tuscan food? For me it’s Mediterranean style ingredients, grown under bright sunshine like tomatoes, olives and peppers. Lush dark green leaves, heart-healthy beans and pulses. A cuisine that makes the most of vegetables, but can also include simply prepared meats and tangy or creamy, indulgent cheeses. I’m suddenly feeling the need to go on holiday!!!
Unfortunately we haven’t got any holidays abroad planned any time soon, so I’ll have to prepare some of those Tuscan flavours at home. Starting with this veggie packed dinner of Tuscan Style Stuffed Mushrooms, stuffed with spinach and goats cheese. Tasty enough on their own, but I’m going a few stages further with a creamy, sun dried tomato sauce, packed with onions, pepper, courgette and spinach. I’m usually pretty good at making sure we get a good amount of veggies into us, but I think this dinner might tick all the days veggie requirements in one go!! I’ve also added extra flavour to those lovely portobello mushrooms by coating them in a light crispy coating with dried herbs spices ❤️❤️ As someone who eats meat most days, this meal is a fantastic replacement where you won’t miss the lack of meat one bit.
If only I could get Chris to like mushrooms - we’d be eating these stuffed mushrooms every week!! I’m giving myself 5 years to work them into his diet. He’s good with finely chopped mushrooms added to bolognaise etc, but wave a butter-fried-mushroom in his face and he’ll clamp his mouth shut like a fussy toddler. No cajoling or bargaining works. I’ve got a feeling this is going to be a difficult one. Over time I’ve managed to get him eating more eggs and drinking a little wine (he hated both of those too), but I think mushrooms might be a step to far. Meet you back here in 5 years and I’ll tell you how we got on ???????? If you like this recipe, try my Tuscan style chicken soup or my Cheesy garlic and chilli stuffed mushrooms.
