Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Remove the stalks from the mushrooms and set aside. Place the mushrooms, cup-side up, on a baking tray.
  2. Break up the mushroom stalks and put in a pan with the spinach and 50ml water. Cover and put over a high heat for 2 mins, then drain and stir through the nutmeg.
  3. Divide the spinach equally between each mushroom cup. Crumble the cheese over the top and spoon ½ tbsp cranberry sauce over each mushroom. Season with pepper.
  4. Bake for 15 mins until the mushrooms are cooked and the cheese has melted, then grate over some extra nutmeg and serve with the herb salad.
