Stuffed Mushrooms

Ingredients:

6 medium portobellos or about 20 smaller crimini/baby bella mushrooms.

• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (optional)
• 1 bell pepper (you'll use half in the mix and the other half chopped fine as a garnish)
• 1 1/2 cups raw spinach
• 1/2 c. walnuts
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/2 of a small onion
• 1/2 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a food processor or blender, combine all ingredients except mushrooms and balsamic vinegar and blend until smooth. Wash mushrooms, carefully remove stems to create a pocket for the filling, and brush with balsamic vinegar. Evenly divide filling amongst mushrooms.
2. Place stuffed mushrooms on a cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, until mushrooms have softened and released their moisture. Remove from oven, carefully use tongs or a spatula to transfer mushrooms to serving dish, and top with chopped bell pepper.
