New Years Eve Dinner<br />

Portabella Mushrooms stuffed with Avocado and Walnuts<br />

I have never been a big New Year’s Eve person. After entertaining for Christmas I enjoy a quiet evening bringing in the New Year!<br />

When my husband and I first met it was so nice that he felt the same way about this holiday. We now enjoy having a small dinner party<br />

and usually in bed by 11pm. We change it up but these are some of my favorites.<br />

Ingredients<br />

• 4 large Portobella mushrooms<br />

• 2 large avocados, peeled and smashed<br />

• 2 cloves garlic, minced<br />

• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh or dried rosemary<br />

• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice<br />

• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt<br />

• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (divided)<br />

• 2 tablespoons olive oil<br />

Directions<br />

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F<br />

1 Remove brown gills from the undersides of mushrooms using a spoon; discard gills.<br />

2 Remove stems, and reserve for another use, if desired.<br />

3 Place mushrooms on a lightly greased baking sheet and put in the oven for 10 minutes. Let cool.<br />

4 In a bowl combine avocado, garlic, rosemary, lime juice, and salt. Combine well with a fork. Then stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons walnuts.<br />

5 Fill each mushroom evenly with the avocado mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining walnuts, and drizzle with olive oil.<br />

6 Put bake in the oven for 5 minutes.<br />

7 Serve immediately<br />
