Chilli in Giant Mushrooms....

[weasey]

Just baked two big mushrooms and then filled them with a chilli pack! Yum!! Might try it again tomorrow with the spag bol - perhaps sprinkle some garlic granules over them before baking... Mmm - and some black pepper...

Loving the sound of that - I have not been having the veg but the more I read on this forum the more I am starting to think about having them, even some of the time.
Any more veg suggestions?

Only been having the veg for 2 weeks so to be fair everything seems gorgeous to me at the moment! Would love to hear other people's yummy veg uses...

Ive not tried the veg yet but I'm sure it won't be long until I do.

That sounds lovely in big mushrooms mmmmm I do love mushrooms

I don't eat the veg...but the mushroom's do sound tempting.

Do mushroom weigh much?

Do mushroom weigh much?

Well the 4 pack I bought today weighs 250g x

 

[Lots2lose36]

That's really good you get a lot for your weight then and is it 200g cooked

I think I'd only have half the allowance as mushrooms and then leave some scope for something else too. Much as I love mushrooms (I could eat them all day) I think the green things are probably better nutritionally and a variety of veg probably provides a better balance of nutrients (but willing to be corrected).

A mixture of veg is probaby the best approach. I had two big mushrooms today which was just about right - otherwise you'd be spreading the cilli very thinly between them! Also meant I coukd have salad with my chicken for tea.

Sorry when I said the pack of 4 was 250g I didn't mean I was intending to eat the whole pack at once. Half each day with some broccoli is what I'll be having

So I just had 2 big mushrooms with spag bol - not as pretty as with chilli but OMG it was delish! I just sprinkled the mushrooms with garlic granules and black pepper and then baked them for 25 mins. Added the spag bol and a bit more black pepper. Definitely doing that one again!

So I still have a number of large mushrooms. Considering trying it tomorrow with the cottage pie - but I think that might be a step too far...

its my 1st day tomorrow although i had tasted the chilli and spag bol as samples so know they are nice. Since reading this i have been craving a big mushroom with either the chilli or spag bol! haha!

think i might dry fry some shallots to have with it too x x x
