Ingredients
  

  • 2 large Portobello mushrooms or 4 medium, cleaned and stalk removed
  • 1 medium red onion peeled, halved horizontally, and sliced into 2mm thick sliced
  • 1 x garlic clove grated
  • 1 x red chilli deseeded and finely chopped
  • 4 x slices halloumi cheese
  • 1 x teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 x tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 3-4 large flat parsley leaves

Instructions
 

  • First, wash and carefully remove the stalk of the Portobello mushrooms. Pat dry with kitchen paper, then place on a foil lined baking tray and drizzle with a little olive oil.
  • Place under a medium hot grill, and grill for 4-5 mins, or until the juices start to release from the mushrooms. Remove from gill and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat up half a tablespoon olive oil, and add the red onion, red chilli, and grated garlic and sweat for 4-5 minutes until soft. Add the balsamic vinegar, season well with sea salt and freshly milled black pepper, and mix thoroughly.
  • Next, carefully stuff in inside of each mushroom with the onion/chilli/garlic mixture.
  • Then, cover with halloumi cheese slices and trim the pieces into shape so that the onion topping is complete covered.
  • Return the mushrooms to a medium-high grill, and grill until the cheese turns a golden brown.
  • Remove from grill, then season and garnish with flat leaf parsley.
