Melt-in-your-mouth mushroom caps are stuffed with a smoky, savory mixture of mashed beans and grilled veggies to create the perfect party appetizer for your next gathering. Start by charring some licorice-scented fennel and tangy red onion to amplify their natural sweetness before chopping them up to add to the creamy bean spread. Cumin, paprika, and coriander deliver a BBQ-style blend of seasonings that are enhanced with a squeeze of zesty lemon juice. The mouthwatering mixture gets spooned into each cap; then the stuffed mushrooms are grilled to tender perfection using a grill pan on the stove.
Tip: No grill pan? No problem. Simply bake the stuffed mushrooms on a rimmed baking sheet in a 400°F oven 15 minutes or until tender.

Ingredients
- 1 cup thinly sliced fresh fennel bulb, fronds reserved for garnish
- ¾ cup thickly sliced red onion
- ½ of a 15-oz. can no-salt-added cannellini beans, rinsed and drained (¾ cup)
- 2 tablespoons chopped dates (4 dates)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 8 to ten 2½-inch-diameter fresh baby portobello or cremini mushrooms
Instructions
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high. Grill fennel and red onion 6 to 10 minutes or until crisp-tender, turning once. Transfer vegetables to a cutting board. Cool slightly and finely chop.
- In a medium bowl stir together the next six ingredients (through coriander). Mash beans with a fork until chunky. Stir in chopped fennel and onion. Season with salt and pepper.

(5 from 5 votes)Can you bake the mushrooms? If so at what temperature and for how long?
Hi Laura, Yes you can. See the note in the introduction. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes or until tender.
So delicious recipes..I like it very much..thank you
We loved it! It was a hit at a church pot luck! Even among people who don't typically eat plant-based.
Doubled this for a work party. I had to cook the fennel with some vegetable broth to soften adequately. They all went, but not my favorite and won’t make again
