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.
Tip: No grill? No problem. Simply bake the stuffed mushrooms on a rimmed baking sheet in a 400°F oven 15 minutes or until tender.
