Stuffed mushrooms are the perfect appetizer for Christmas and this no-bake recipe is super simple and full of flavor. It's a typical Spanish recipe, although I also added some red onion to make them more colorful and tasty.
Just in case you didn't notice, we don't usually make recipes using mushrooms because I don't feel well when I eat them, it's not as bad as an allergic reaction, but my body doesn't like them, I don't know why. ?
We have many special meals during the holidays here in Spain: Nochebuena (Christmas Eve dinner) on December 24, a lunch the next day, another dinner on December 31 (Nochevieja), another lunch the first day of the year and finally another lunch on January 6 because of the Three Wise Men leave presents under the Christmas tree like Santa Claus does in other countries. It's a lot of food!!! But since I became vegan, I try to eat simple meals that nourish my body and taste great. ?
Tips:
- Feel free to add other veggies, herbs or spices.
- Bake them if you prefer to use less oil. For an oil-free recipe, you can use more lemon juice instead of the oil or any other sauce you like.
- There are so many recipes you can make with the stems. Sauté them in some olive oil with some garlic and you have a delicious side dish, add them to a tofu scramble or use them as a pie filling, you choose!

How would you bake them?
Iosune says
Hi Diane! Slice the mushrooms and place them onto a baking tray. Add the rest of the ingredients and maybe less oil and bake them to 355ºF or 180ºC until golden brown 😉
