This dish offers a satisfying mix of textures and flavors that is both nutritious and palate-pleasing.
INGREDIENTS
2 large Portobello Mushrooms (approx. 240g total)
1/2 cup part-skim Ricotta Cheese (124g)
2 large egg whites (66g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 Garlic clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste
Optional: 2 tbsp extra Ricotta for protein boost
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Gently clean the Portobello mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Use a spoon to scrape out some of the gills for extra space for the filling.
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, egg whites, sautéed spinach with garlic, and grated Parmesan. Stir in salt and pepper, and if desired, mix in the optional extra ricotta for a protein boost.
Spoon the ricotta and spinach mixture generously into each Portobello mushroom cap.
Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the mushrooms are tender.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, and serve warm.
