Curry potato stuffed mushrooms are a wonderful appetizer! Easy and allergy friendly, so everyone can enjoy them!
Well, we just changed the number on our chalkboard Advent calendar and there are 8 days left until Christmas.
Yikes. For some reason, I thought I had more time! A lot of my shopping is done, although I have to make a run to TJ Maxx and Macy’s tomorrow to pick up a couple of things for Darryl. I’ve done my fair share of baking already, but I do have two more cookie recipes that we will be making for Christmas.
I haven’t been able to decide what I will be bringing to Christmas Eve at my Mom and Dad’s house. I think my sweet potato casserole for sure, and some cookies, and maybe an appetizer. Which brings me to today’s recipe for these vegan and gluten free curry potato stuffed mushrooms.
I LOVE stuffed mushrooms. I used to make them pretty frequently back in my cheese-eating days. Darryl used to love to make them too, and his favorite was a combination of blue cheese, bacon, and spinach. So good.
We’ve gotten a little bit creative these days, since cheese isn’t an option. I still crave a creamy filling inside the mushroom, so potato is a good alternative for us. I added a lot of vegan buttery spread, some coconut milk, spinach, and some Indian spices, and made these flavorful bites. These dairy free stuffed mushrooms didn’t last long at our house! Depending on the size of your mushrooms, you may have some potato filling left over, but don’t worry, you can just grab a spoon and polish that off in no time. ;)

I’m going to try these tonight but as a main meal in Portobello mushrooms. My husband loves samosas and he loves mushrooms, so I think he’s going to really like this interesting tweak on them. I wish I could be this creative in coming up with recipes. Thank god for people like you!
