    ARE PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS KETO FRIENDLY?

    Not all mushrooms are equal in carbohydrates but portobello mushrooms have just 4g net carbs per 100g serving which can be the size of a very large portobello mushroom.

    Portobello mushrooms make a great meat substitute for vegetarians too as they are a hearty textured mushroom.

    KETO STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS INGREDIENTS

    If you have the ingredients for a caprese salad to hand, all you need to complete this recipe are the portobello mushrooms.

    caprese mushroom ingredients
    • Portobello Mushrooms - Ensure that they are fresh and not "slimy". Clean the mushroom caps with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt before use.
    • Cherry tomatoes - the ripest and flavorsome you can find.
    • Mozzarella - Fresh mozzarella cheese rather than shredded mozzarella.
    • Basil
    • Garlic
    • Olive oil - Avocado oil can be used too.
    • Salt & Pepper - to season
    • Balsamic Vinegar - Optional to serve.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    This is an easy recipe to make and is ready under 15 minutes making this a great keto vegetarian lunch or dinner with minimum fuss.

    removing mushroom gills

    Scoop out the mushroom gills with a small spoon.

    brush mushrooms with oil

    Brush the mushroom caps with the garlic oil.

    stuffed mushrooms

    Layer the tomatoes, mozzarella and basil

    portobello mushrooms

    Bake for 10-12 minutes at 200C/400F degrees.

    To serve, drizzling balsamic vinegar over the baked stuffed mushrooms is optional but recommended for the extra flavour.

    DO PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM GILLS NEED TO BE REMOVED?

    The gills of a portobello mushroom have a rich distinctive taste which can overpower a dish and would do so with the delicate Caprese flavours. When stuffing a portobello, it's usually best to remove the gills. This can be down with a small spoon but do this gently as you don't want to break the mushroom.

    WHAT TO SERVE WITH STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

    These stuffed mushrooms are best served whilst still warm. For a light lunch serve them with an asparagus avocado salad or for a heartier dinner try a side dish of celeriac fries or loaded radishes.
