Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms
Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms
This recipe can easily be adjusted depending on the amount of people you are feeding. We have made this dish using various sized mushrooms and have found that we prefer smaller, bite-sized mushrooms only because they are easy to eat on the go. You can use different kinds of mushrooms when making this (i.e white button, cremini or portobello). Fun fact; did you know that white button, cremini and portobello mushrooms are actually the same mushroom? Each type of mushroom is just at a different stage in it's life. The white button is the youngest, while the portobello is the most mature. The cremni mushroom falls in between, being more mature than the white button, but younger than the portobello. For the purpose of this recipe, we used large and medium sized portobello mushrooms.

Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees
- Next, dice up your onion & celery stalks and add to a saute pan on medium heat with olive oil and minced garlic
- While that is sauteing, put your crackers in a ziplock bag and crush them up until it almost looks like bread crumbs
- Rinse your mushrooms and take out the stems (save, and chop them up)
- Chop up stems and any other filling you scooped out of the mushroom
- Once your onions and celery are translucent (after about 5 minutes), add your cracker crumbs to the pan along with the diced mushroom stems, frozen spinach, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, umami and vegan butter
- Stir mixture around for a couple of minutes until the crackers become soft and absorb some of the butter/oil
- Taste and add more seasoning if necessary
- Stuff your mushrooms with the filling using a spoon. Be sure to stuff them as much as possible.
- Once they are all stuffed, place them in a glass pyrex dish (or dishes depending on how many you make), and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. The tops should begin to turn golden brown when they are ready!
