Method

Step 1

Remove the stalks from the mushrooms and finely chop.

Step 2

Add the oil to a frying pan and brown the onion and chopped mushroom stalks for 4-5 minutes then allow to cool.

Step 3

Meanwhile, squeeze out any excess water from the spinach and place in a bowl.

Step 4

Mix the onion and spinach with plenty of pepper and the nutmeg. Stir in the cream cheese mix together well and form into 4 even-sized balls.

Step 5

Meanwhile, grill or griddle the gill-side (inside) of the mushrooms, then top each with the spinach mixture. Set aside until you are ready to grill or barbecue.

Step 6

Put the mushrooms onto the barbecue or griddle pan, loosely placing a piece of kitchen foil over the top, to trap the heat, allowing the smoky flavour to be absorbed. Cook for 4-5 minutes.

Step 7

Lightly toasted the bun and add the mushroom with lettuce, sliced tomato and red onion.

Recipe tips

You could cook the mushrooms in a medium oven for 10-15 minutes instead on the barbecue.
Try making mini versions using smaller mushrooms and buns, they're great for a party.
