Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1 onion, chopped finely
- 1 cup cashews
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cooked brown rice (or grain of choice)
- one 15-ounce can lentils, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
- 6 portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed
- 1 tomato, sliced into thin rounds
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cashews and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sauté until the onions are soft and lightly browned. Add the garlic and let cook a few more minutes until fragrant.
- In a large bowl combine the onion mixture, brown rice, lentils, breadcrumbs, vegetable broth, basil, and thyme. Mix together and season to taste with salt and pepper.*
- Brush both sides of the mushroom caps lightly with olive oil and place top side down on a lightly oiled sheet pan.** For each mushroom, stuff with about ½ cup of the lentil stuffing, and then press 1 tomato slice on top.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the stuffing is browned and mushrooms are cooked through. Garnish with extra fresh thyme leaves and serve.
