These Stuffed Spanish Mushrooms with Tuna & Manchego Cheese make for the perfect fall tapas dish. They´re warm & hearty, have an incredible flavor and done in 30 minutes. Plus let´s face it, when fall comes around we love turning on the oven. It brings warmth to the house and an array of aromas that fill the kitchen with excitment.
For this recipe I used extra-large button mushrooms. You want to use the largest mushrooms you can find, that way you can stuff them with as much stuffing as possible. You can use a different type of large mushroom if you prefer. However, button mushrooms are very mild in flavor, which makes the stuffing really shine through.
What really takes these stuffed mushrooms to the next-level is the sweet smoked Spanish paprika. It gives the stuffed mushrooms a sweet & smoky flavor and brings everything togther. The one I used in this recipe is from La Dalia, provided to me by LaTienda.com to try out here on Spain on a Fork. Truly folks, once of the BEST sweet smoked Spanish paprikas you will ever taste.
TIPS & TRICKS to make this recipe: When draining the oil from the tuna, add a sieve into a bowl and the tuna into the sieve. When shredding the cheese, add the shredder into a bowl and then shred the cheese. This makes for any easy clean up. For the last tip, when you´re working with mushrooms be gentle with them. They are very fragile and can easily break.
