- 8 ProPoints per serving
- Serves 1
- 15 minutes in total
- Vegetarian
Ingredients
Low fat cooking spray
110g large field mushrooms, stalks removed
25g soft goat’s cheese
15g fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs
For the pesto:
15g pine nut kernels
15g chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
15g Parmesan cheese, chopped roughly
1 small clove of garlic, crushed
Method
To make the pesto, dry the pine nuts for 2-3 minutes in a non-stick frying pan, making sure you stir them regularly until they turn a golden colour.
Next place the parsley, pine nut kernels, Parmesan cheese and garlic into a small food processor, liquidiser or you can use a hand-held blender. Blend them into a rough paste.
Preheat the grill to a medium heat and line the grill pan with foil. Spray the topside of the mushrooms with the cooking spray, then grill them for about 2 minutes until they start to soften. Turn them over, spray the underside with the cooking spray and then cook for a minute or so, until they appear juicy.
Top the mushrooms with the pesto and crumble some goat’s cheese over them. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top and grill again for another 1-2 minutes until they start bubbling. Serve warm and enjoy!
Cook’s Tip: For a slightly larger meal serve the pesto mushrooms with 40g dried pasta, cooked and tossed with 2 teaspoons of snipped chives for an extra 4 ProPoints per serving.
