Sundried Tomato Hummus stuffed into a Portobello Mushroom – a great way to eat more plants, and extra tasty on the grill!
Sabra Hummus
I love hummus, especially Sabra- I’ve collaborated with them previously and continue to purchase their products regularly. Sabra has more then a dozen flavors available and sent me some of their classic and new flavors including red pepper, jalapeno, caramelized onion, and sun-dried tomato. (I was not compensated for my time.)
Hummus is a great plant protein so I wanted to make a summer-friendly grilled mushroom with that chickpea goodness. Since I wanted to focus on this recipe being mostly plant-based and grill season is upon us I decided to use portobello mushrooms as the base.
Typically they are marinated before grilled so I mixed the Sabra hummus with some olive oil, vinegar, and a splash of lemon juice. You could marinate up to an hour but 30 minutes seemed to do the trick as well. I used the sun dried tomato topping to add to the mushroom after grilling before sprinkling with some feta cheese. The feta could be omitted for a dairy free meal as well.
