Ingredients

You only need a few simple healthy ingredients to make low carb Greek stuffed mushroom recipe.

• Garlic - fresh crushed is preferred but garlic powder or granules will also work in this recipe.
• Ground/mince lamb - this is authentic for a Mediterannean dish, however you could use ground pork, chicken or turkey.
• Basil - use fresh basil and tear into tiny pieces. I also use fresh basil leaves to garnish and serve.
• Mushrooms - regular button mushrooms have been used in the video, however, large flat portobello mushrooms also work beautifully. The larger the mushroom, the more lamb stuffing they can accommodate.
• Seasoning - add salt and pepper to taste. You might also enjoy other herbs and spices such as lemon pepper, chili flakes, or onion salt.

Toppings

• Fresh basil - whole or pieces.
• Halloumi - cut into squares large enough to cover the mushroom stuffing.
• Sundried tomatoes - cut into quarters or halves then placed under the halloumi.

Instructions

Oven/BBQ

Place the stuffed mushrooms into an oiled baking dish or sheet pan. Place into a preheated oven, or on the barbecue with the hood closed, for 10 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked and the halloumi has warmed.

Air fryer

To cook stuffed mushrooms in the air fryer, first oil the wire rack of your air fryer basket. Lower each stuffed mushroom onto the wire rack. Ensure there is space between each mushroom and the side of the basket.

1. Preheat to 180C/350F.
2. Cook for 10 minutes, depending on the size of your air fryer and the size of your mushrooms.

Serving

These low-carb Greek stuffed mushrooms can be served as a starter, light lunch, or made into a dinner with a Greek salad, avocado, and olives.

I like to serve stuffed mushrooms with baked eggplant, cauliflower couscous or lamb kebabs. They are also the perfect side dish for chicken or beef.
