Vegan MoFo Cheezy Broccoli Stuffed MushroomsOctober 29th, 2012 15 comments
Now it wouldn’t be Vegan MoFo without a vegan getting all wild and crazy and throwing all the vegan staples – hummus, tofu and pesto – into a single dish, would it? It’s just mad enough to work and by joves, work it does!
Hummus gives a lovely earthy texture and flavour whilst tofu and cheeze balance it out with fluffy creaminess. Pesto joins the party with a fresh herb flavour and chilli adds little sparks of interest throughout.
On top of all that, these snazzy guys are a cinch to make and you could even pre-make and refrigerate and then just pop them into the oven when your friends arrive for your fabulous dinner party. Or even a brunch party!
Serves 2-3 as a main dish (or 7 as an entree):
- 7 portobello mushrooms, stems removed
- 150g hummus
- 150g firm tofu, chopped
- Half a broccoli head of florets, chopped
- 1 cup cheeze, chopped (I love Notzarella)
- 1/2 a small red chilli, chopped
- Pesto (see below)
- 2 spring onions, sliced
PESTO
- 1/4 cup EVOO
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 tbsp pine nuts
- Squeeze of lemon juice
- Preheat oven to 180C.
- Combine all pesto ingredients in a blender and blend until well combined.
- In a large bowl, mix pesto with hummus, tofu, broccoli, cheeze and chilli. Season with sea salt and cracked pepper.
- Place mushrooms top down on a lined baking tray and fill with mixture.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheeze looks melted.
- Remove from oven and served topped with sliced spring onion.

Yummmm cheezy broccoli pesto goodness and in a mushroom no less. Delicious!
It’s so good I ate it two nights in a row!
I looooooove cheesy broccoli anything. I would have never thought to combine hummus with pesto!
hehe, I must admit it was a nervous experiment but one that ended well! Hurray!
OMG. Mouth watering!
They smell great, too.

I ate 3 in my first sitting!
Oh my, that would be like a party in your mouth!
It soooo was and someone forgot to tell security to make me stop partying! Nom nom nom
This sounds like such a delicious combination of flavours! I’ve been ambivalent about stuffed mushrooms in the past as recipes I’ve tried have been a bit boring.
Oh me too, Mel! Thankfully these ones had huuuuuge personalities!
These sound so good! I should not be looking at food right after eating lunch, because I’m hungry all over again.
Oh yum! I love that you used Notzarella! These looks like little cups of heaven, my three favorites-basil, tofu, and mushrooms!
oh my this looks so good!
