COOK TIME: 20 Min

SERVES: 6

  • 6 large White Flat Mushrooms

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C bake.
  2. Clean and remove the stems of the mushrooms. Place on a lined baking tray, gill side up.
  3. Stuff the mushrooms with the chicken & roast vege and season with salt & pepper. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with thyme leaves.
  4. Place in the oven for 15 – 20 minutes, until the mushrooms and vegetables are cooked through and golden.

  6. Place the stuffed mushrooms on top of the peas and serve immediately.

Top Tips:

Rather than throwing the mushroom stems away, finely chop them up and add them as part of the stuffed mushroom filling or use them when making a beef or vegetable stock for added savoury flavour.
