INGREDIENTS

Italian Almonds

  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 3/4 cup chopped Mariani Whole Almonds

  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning

Stuffed Mushrooms

  • 4 large portobello mushrooms

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 cup chopped onion

  • 1 cup diced zucchini

  • 1 cup chopped bell pepper (any color)

  • 1 cup precooked quinoa

  • 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (preferably smoked)

  • 1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning

  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or to taste

  • 3/4 cup shredded smoked mozzarella cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. To prepare Italian Almonds, heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add almonds and seasoning and cook for 5 minutes or until toasty, stirring frequently; set aside. 

  2. To prepare stuffed mushrooms, preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Scrape away black gills from mushrooms with a spoon and place rounded side down on baking sheet. 

  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 10 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally. Stir in zucchini and bell pepper and cook for 5 minutes more. Stir in quinoa and seasonings, then stir in 1/2 cup Italian Almonds. 

  4. Pile into portobello mushrooms and top with equal amounts of cheese. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon almonds over each mushroom. 

  5. Bake for 15 minutes or until mushrooms are tender, tenting with foil if tops brown too quickly. 

CAMPING MAKE-AHEAD TIPS

  • Prepare Italian Almonds and vegetable filling ahead. Stir 1/2 cup almonds into filling and store in a tightly covered container. Store remaining almonds in a small container. Store all in a cooler. 

  • Place mushrooms and shredded cheese in 2 more separate containers. 

  • Assemble and place mushrooms over a campfire, cooking for about 10 minutes. Cook on foil if necessary.
