Easy to Prepare, Impressive to Serve

One of the best things about this recipe is its simplicity. With just a few ingredients and some basic cooking skills, you can create a stunning appetizer that’s sure to impress. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Cooking spray
• 1/4 cup minced Vidalia onion
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 cup cooked wild rice
• 1/4 cup dairy-free Mexican style shredded “cheese”
• 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
• 1/2 cup cashews, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons salsa
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 24 large button mushrooms, stems discarded
• 3 fresh chives, finely chopped

Bring It All Together

To prepare, simply preheat your oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray. In a small skillet, cook the onions in oil until translucent, then add the wild rice, cheese, carrots, cashews, salsa, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes, or until warm. Remove from heat and fill each mushroom cap with the mixture. Place the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking dish and bake for 10 minutes, or until heated through. Remove from the oven and garnish with chives.
