Smoky + Sticky Portobello Mushrooms with Creamy Butter Bean Mash

This recipe is by Karen Newby - registered nutritionist, specialising in menopause nutrition and author of The Natural Menopause Method Cookbook, where this recipe is from! 



"This recipe was inspired by a similar dish by Yotam Ottolenghi. It retains the depth of flavour of the portobello mushrooms but with a shorter cook time and more plants added in. Mushrooms are a good source of vitamin D as well as copper for our nervous system. A great plant-based meal that’s high in fibre and low in saturated fat. Extra greens have been added for more magnesium and iron, and the butter bean mash is a nice alternative to potato mash as well as a perfect combination for the meaty portobellos" - Karen

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 160°C fan/350°F/Gas 4.

2

Place the onion, garlic, harissa, smoked paprika, ground cumin and coriander, olive oil and coriander stems in a food processor, along with 11/2 teaspoons of salt and a good grind of black pepper. Blitz well to combine and then pour this into a medium roasting tray or ovenproof dish, about 30 x 22cm (12 x 81/2in).

3

Add all the mushrooms and mix to coat. Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the mushrooms are really soft.

4

Add the spinach and all but 1 tablespoon of the coriander leaves, stir, then re-cover and bake for another 10 minutes, to allow the spinach to wilt. Remove the foil, give everything a stir, increase the oven temperature to 180°C fan/400°F/Gas 6 and bake, uncovered, for a final 15 minutes, to allow the sauce to reduce a little and thicken up.

5

While the mushrooms are cooking, place all the ingredients for the butter bean mash in a food processor along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Blitz well until smooth (you might need to add a couple more tablespoons of bean stock from the butter bean jar or water to get your desired consistency), then set aside. When the mushrooms are almost ready, warm the mash up in a saucepan over a low heat.

6

To serve, divide the mash between two or four plates and make a little well in the middle of each portion. Spoon in the mushrooms, then finish with the final sprinkling of coriander leaves.
