Greek-inspired fusion
Introduction
Greek spanakopita flavours: spinach, feta, oregano, olive oil meet the smoky “vegan-bacon” depth of Dulse Vita in these easy, oven-baked stuffed mushrooms.
This recipe yields juicy bite-size appetisers with a crisp top and a creamy, sea-savory centre.
Ingredients
20 small cremini or baby portobello caps, stems removed (≈ 600 g).
2 Tbsp OLEA432 olive oil
½ small onion, minced
Mushroom stems, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 packed cup baby spinach, chopped
1 Tbsp Dulse Vita sea-herb seasoning
1 tsp dried oregano (echoes classic spanakopita herbs)
40 g panko breadcrumbs (+ 1 Tbsp for topping)
Zest of ½ lemon
1 small egg, beaten (binder)
Pinch black pepper
Directions
Prep Mushrooms
Brush mushroom caps with 1 Tbsp OLEA432; place hollow-side up on a parchment tray. Oiling first keeps the exteriors juicy, not rubbery
Sauté filling
Heat olive oil; sauté onion & chopped stems 3 min. Add garlic. Stir in spinach until wilted. Sprinkle Dulse Vita & oregano; cook 1 min to bloom smoky-herbal aroma
Finish mixture
Off heat, fold in crumbled feta, panko, lemon zest, egg, and pepper. Mixture should cling together but stay moist
Fill & bake
Heap 1 to 2 Tbsp filling into each cap, dome slightly; top with extra panko. Bake 18 min @ 180 °C / 350 °F until tops brown and caps release juices
Serve
Dust hot mushrooms with a pinch of Dulse Vita for fresh sea-salt sparkle and plate with lemon wedges.
Why It Works
Dulse Vita supplies natural glutamates and iron, giving “bacon-ish” umami that deepens traditional spinach-feta filling.
Thoroughly crumbled feta melts evenly, avoiding gooey pockets and watery seepage.
Oiling caps first + modest moisture filling prevents sogginess, one of the top stuffed-mushroom pitfalls.
Spinach, feta & oregano anchor familiar spanakopita flavour, while lemon zest brightens the briny dulse notes
Serving Suggestions:
Mediterranean board – Add olives, roasted peppers, and warm pita wedges.
Lunchbox garnish – Reheat quickly; they hold their shape and flavour cold or warm.
