Advice
Pre-roast the mushroom caps before filling them, so they release extra moisture and the creamy ajvar cheese filling stays rich instead of watery.
Why it works π‘
Mushrooms bring deep savory flavor, ajvar adds smoky sweetness, brined cheese gives salt and creaminess, while walnuts add texture and a rustic Balkan meze finish.
Twist πΆοΈ
Add 40 g finely chopped roasted red pepper (ΒΌ cup / 1.4 oz) into the filling for a softer, sweeter version with extra color and juiciness.
