This recipe uses portobello mushrooms, which are typically easy to find at your local grocery store or farmer's market. For this family-sized vegan recipe we pack the portobello caps with seasoned plant-based meat, sear them on the stove, smother the whole thing in a delicious, rich tomato sauce, then bake it in the oven casserole-style. We suggest serving it up with a generous side of creamy polenta and wilted spinach (served over a bed of your favorite pasta would also be delicious). This is next-level comfort food that is very easy to do and will make enough for a family style meal or several days of meal-prep! You got this!

1½ tsp oregano
¼ tsp smoked paprika
1 star anise
1 bay leaf
1 tbsp capers
2 tbsp plant-based butter

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare mise en place, preparing all ingredients as above and preheat oven to 420f/215 C
Crush red pepper flakes, fennel seeds, 1 tsp oregano and star anise in a pestle mortar, until ground.
Using hands, combine burgers in a bowl with ground spice blend and a pinch of salt and pepper. Work through until thoroughly mixed.
Take mushroom cups and place face up on a board, fill with seasoned burger mixture and pack down.
Heat a cast iron pan on a medium-high heat and add a little olive oil when hot. Place mushroom face down on the cast iron pan.
Heat a pot on a medium-high heat, add 4 tbsp olive oil, ½ diced onion and 6 sliced garlic cloves, followed by the diced mushroom stems and capers. Stir.
Use a spatula to move the mushroom around the pan, to avoid sticking. Flip when slightly browned and set aside in a casserole dish. Add other mushroom to the pan face down and repeat the process. Sear quartered onions to pan to when mushrooms have been removed. Add a little oil, salt and pepper.
Add tins of tomatoes to pot, crushing the whole tomatoes with your hand. Stir. Add bay leaf (remember to remove before serving). Add 1 tsp salt and black pepper. Cook down for 5 minutes.
Once onions are cooked, add into casserole dish around mushroom and turn off the heat under the cast-iron pan. Add one scoop of sauce to pan, swirl and pour over mushrooms. Stir through sauce for a few more minutes and pour over portobellos and onion in the casserole dish. Use spoon to even out.
Bake in oven for 20 minutes.
Heat pot on medium high heat, pour in 350 ml (1½ cups). Add 4 sliced garlic cloves to water, with butter. Bring to a boil and whisk, add a pinch of salt and pepper ½ tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp oregano. Add in polenta slowly, keep whisking, as it will start to thicken straight away. Lower heat to a medium-low once combined and bubbling. Add cheese, a little milk and keep stirring Turn heat off and cover.
Check mushrooms after 20 minutes and cook for a further 15 minutes to reduce, remove and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
Transfer mushroom to cutting board and slice.
Sear baby spinach in cast-iron pan on a medium high heat, add pinch of salt and pepper. Turn off heat once wilted.
Heat polenta again and whisk through, ready to serve.
Plate up! Add a large scoop of polenta to the centre of plate, spinach to the side and slices of mushroom on top, top with sauce. Top with fresh parsley, if you have it!
