🍄 The Meaty Portobello
Portobello mushrooms are often used in place of beef in the vegetarian lifestyle. Their texture and flavor, while not the same as beef, still offer that same feel of chew and earthy richness. Meat eaters find it easy to move to the mushroom when transitioning. One of my favorite recipes to use in this way other than these Greek Stuffed Mushrooms, is the Portobello Cheesesteak Sandwich.
Mushrooms are rich in B-vitamins. They also contain minerals, protein, and antioxidants such as selenium and vitamin C. They also contain protein and fiber. Mushrooms have a great earthy flavor that makes it easy to use in place of meat for some meals.
Portobello Mushrooms made mostly of water, and when cooking, most of that water is released and the mushroom shrinks in size. For this reason, when making stuffed mushrooms, I often pre-cook the caps for a little bit before adding the stuffing.
