Feta Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms

Looking for a quick vegetarian dish or tasty side dish?  Look no further, as these Feta Stuffed Mushrooms are so delicious and so easy to make. 

I have one teenager that absolutely loves mushrooms and one son that is not particularly fond of mushrooms. However, if I put cheese on or anything, my teenagers seem to forget all about their preferences.  To my dear niece this recipe is a tribute to you.


Many of my recipes can be changed or altered to adjust to a vegetarian diet. I am the queen of substitution as I never seem to have all the ingredients required to make a dish, I just adjust.  I have invented some really amazing dishes this way. Don't be afraid to swap ingredients or change ingredients to your liking. This is how happy accidents are formed. Living abroad can add extra challenges to finding food ingredients as they are difficult to find or they are non-existent. For example, if you can't find feta cheese, then swap out for mozzarella, swiss, or any other cheeses you can get your hands on.  Please feel free to make changes to dishes and please share your comments and let us all know how it turned out.


A lovely place in Hong Kong to enjoy some yummy vegetarian dishes is at the Chi Lin Nunnery. Long Man Lou - Chi Lin Vegetarian restaurant is situated in a traditional Chinese Buddhist garden to the Chi Lin Nunnery where a walk calms the mind. The dishes are thoughtfully prepared in a Chinese vegetarian style. Nan Lian Garden, 60 Fung Tak Road (at MTR: Diamond Hill Station Exit C2, follow signs to Chi Lin Nunnery) Kowloon, Hong Kong China.
