GLUTEN-FREE, GRAIN-FREE, SPECIFIC CARBOHYDRATE DIET (SCD)

I love mushrooms. Recently, I was thinking about new ways to cook them and I came up with these recipe: Stuffed Mushrooms with three cheeses. I have always loved mushrooms and cheese and this recipe really hits the spot. Great side dishes are an important aspect of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD). When I first discovered that to follow SCD, I needed to give up bread, pasta, rice and potatoes, I wondered what I would eat. Through lots of experimenting in the kitchen, I learned how to make vegetables exciting and delicious. This has had a hugely positive effect on my health and on my family’s also. My daughter eats more vegetables now than I could possibly have imagined.

Mushrooms are not only healthy but are also quiet filling, especially when stuffed with three different cheeses! You can use any varieties of cheese you like. I opted for Cashel Blue first which is an Irish blue cheese and one of my favourites. Next, I used dry curd cottage cheese as I love it’s texture when cooked.

These stuffed mushrooms with three cheeses are definitely something you could serve as an appetizer or side dish to any guests. I’d be quiet surprised if anyone guessed they were SCD-legal without you telling them. The addition of the blanched almond flour on top gives them a slightly crispy crust. They are really quick to prepare and take just half an hour to cook. What are you waiting for? 🙂
