Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms With Green Beans Recipe

Stuffed portobellos are always on our "to-eat" list. First of all, mushrooms are the perfect Paleo food - they can be grown or wild-harvested, and they have been around since the beginning of time.

It can't get more prehistoric than that! Secondly, along with massive amounts of antioxidants loaded into each mushroom, there are so many kinds to choose from. Lastly, the texture is definitely not lacking, nor is the range of flavor from species to species.

Diversity is king in the fungi world, but today we'll stick to portobellos because they are perfect for stuffing.

The act of consuming mushrooms is a time-honored way of getting non-animal-based proteins into your diet, and it is a good way to add essential vitamins and minerals when you take the initiative to push grains off your plate.

In fact, there isn't even anything very mysterious about a portobello - it is just a very mature white button mushroom, that is it, nothing more. Perhaps the greatest thing about mushrooms is that they can be added to soups, stir-fries, casseroles, and salads, and as we've already proclaimed, stuff is the way to go. Sausage-stuffed button mushrooms, anyone? They make the perfect little appetizer.

As this dish is a complete meal on its own, there is no need to create a complementary side dish, though if it feels that a sweet aftertaste is missing from your menu, let us suggest an amber cup coconut milk dessert. It does complete the meal nicely.
