Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms Recipe

I’m happy to have experimented with many new dishes with all the stuffs I had bought from Foodie Market Place especially the big packet of cheddar cheese and block of pecorino romano that I never seem to be able to finish using them, lol. I quite like using pecorino cheese as a topping for these mushrooms as they don’t melt easily in the oven and have a more full-bodied flavour that gives a delicious edge to the meal.

Love the crunch of the peppers and the juiciness of the tomatoes. The colours are absolutely appetising too. I’m sure this would be a hit with kids – especially good if you want them to eat their vegetables as this dish is totally vegetarian. Bon appetit!
