    Spice up your cold winter evenings with this fragrant vegan recipe of Chermoula Baked Mushrooms with Persian Spiced Buckwheat and a Preserved Lemon Cashew Cream.

    Chermoula Baked Mushrooms recipe - juicy portobello mushrooms become soft, juicy and utterly delicious when topped with chermoula and baked in the oven | DeliciousEveryday.com

    There's a reason why mushrooms are often refereed to as meat for vegetarians. Look how juicy and succulent these gorgeous Chermoula Baked Mushrooms have become after 25 minutes in the oven.

    While I'd be more than happy to eat the mushrooms alone, I've served them on a bed of Persian Spiced Buckwheat for a truly Autumnal dish, which I'm relishing, as the weather here in Brisbane finally starts to take a cooler turn, especially in the evenings.

    If you don't have buckwheat you can sub bulgur wheat or couscous easily here, which will result in a lighter dish.

    Serve with your favourite greens on the side, or some sweet roasted baby carrots, and a dollop of preserved lemon cashew cream (or yoghurt, if you can tolerate dairy) and you have a hearty evening meal.

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 180 celsius (350 Fahrenheit). Place all of the ingredients for the chermoula mushrooms, except the mushrooms, in a food processor. Process until a paste forms. Line a large baking tray with baking paper and score the mushrooms with a cross, making sure not to cut all the way through the mushrooms. Place the mushrooms top side down in the tray and spoon ¾ of the chermoula over the mushrooms, making sure the mushroom is well coated. Baked for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the mushroom is juicy and tender.
    • Meanwhile, to make the Persian Spiced Buckwheat, toast the buckwheat in a large frying pan over a medium heat for around 5 minutes, or until lightly golden and smelling toasty. Place the water, spices, sea salt and dates in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the buckwheat, stir and cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the buckwheat is tender. Keep warm until ready to serve. Just before serving add the pomegranate seeds and pistachios.
    • To make the preserved lemon cashew cream place the ingredients in a high speed blender and process until smooth, adding more water or almond milk as needed to form a smooth paste.
    • To serve divide the Persian buckwheat and mushrooms between 4 plates. Top the mushrooms with remaining chermoula. Serve with mixed leaves or roasted baby carrots and top with the preserved lemon cashew cream.

      I love stuffed mushrooms, but I haven't tried having them with buckwheat yet. Great recipe!

      I could happily sit down to this meal and be so happy there wouldn't be room for dessert. I would like these mushies with fruity couscous I think.
