Goat's Cheese & Walnut Stuffed Mushrooms

Big flat mushrooms are made for this kind of filling - they turn juicy in the oven while the centres stay rich and savoury. Goat's cheese brings tang, walnuts add a little crunch, and thyme keeps everything fragrant. It feels substantial without being at all heavy.

Method
Serves 4 · about 35 minutes from start to finish.
Heat the oven to 200C / 180C fan and line a baking tray.
Remove the mushroom stalks, chop them finely and set the caps on the tray with the hollow side up.
Warm half the olive oil in a small pan and cook the chopped stalks with the garlic for 3-4 minutes until any moisture has evaporated.
Take the pan off the heat and mix in the goat's cheese, walnuts, thyme, parsley and black pepper.
Brush the mushroom caps with the remaining olive oil, then divide the filling between them and mound it slightly in the centre.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are lightly coloured.

Cook's tip
If the mushrooms release a lot of liquid in the tray, lift them out with a fish slice before serving so the filling stays neat.
