Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the drained lentils and brown for 9-10 minutes until heated through and crisping up. For the best results, only shift occasionally. On completion, set ¼ of the crisp lentils aside for Step 2. Place the remaining lentils in a bowl along with the chopped dates, the diced cucumber, the juice from 1 lemon wedge, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Toss until combined and set aside.
FLAVOURFUL FILLING
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and the grated garlic and fry for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and soft, shifting occasionally. Add the reserved lentils, the rinsed spinach, seasoning, and ½ of the breadcrumbs. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
SAY CHEESE!
In a small bowl, combine the grated Italian-style cheese, the remaining breadcrumbs, and the grated mozzarella.
PUT THE STUFFIES IN THE MUSHIES
Lightly coat the mushrooms with oil and place onto a baking tray, stem-side up. Stuff each mushroom with the onion & spinach filling. Sprinkle over the cheesy topping and bake in the hot oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the mushrooms are cooked through.
YUMMO!
