Black Bean Chili Stuffed Mushrooms

Difficulty: Easy-Medium

Serves 4

The weather is cooling down and my meal cravings have been leaning towards the more hearty side. The other day I kinda felt like chili but I also kinda felt like a mushroom so I thought I’d throw the two together. You could even do mini version of this with smaller mushrooms for a party platter! Yeah, that’d be super cute.

Ingredients

• 4 large mushrooms, washed
• 1 brown onion, finely chopped
• 1 can black beans, drained
• 1/2 cup corn kernels
• 1 red capsicum, chopped
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons cayenne
• 4 tablespoons vegan sour cream (optional)
• Chives to garnish

Method

1. Remove the stalks from the mushrooms and set aside.
2. In a fry pan, sautee the onion for a few minutes before adding the black beans and vegetables.
3. Add the tinned tomatoes, brown sugar and spices. Combine well and cook for 8-10 minutes.
4. If the mixture becomes too thick, add some water until you get the desired consistency.
5. In the meantime, grill the mushroom for about 5 minutes.
6. Fill each mushroom with chilli mixture and top with the vegan sour cream and chives.
