These little beauties have so much going on, yet they're so easy to make. Total flavor explosion!

I served these to my family and as a surprise I saved half of the batch for my husband for when he got home from work late in the evening. He gently woke me up to tell me they were one of the best things he's ever had.

That's a huge compliment coming from him because he's an amazing cook and formally worked in restaurant kitchens for over 10 years.

He was wondering what the flavorful secret ingredient was in these Paleo tea infused bacon herb stuffed mushrooms.

THIS amazing tea!!!

Wild Child blend from Cedar Lake Teas is absolutely delicious, so fresh and flavorful.

This organic blend is like no other I have ever tried before. It includes two of my my favorites - hibiscus and rose hips plus spearmint and a special one - apples. The flavor is so good!

Ingredients

For the Herbal Tea:

1 cup filtered water
1 ½ tablespoon Wild Child organic tea from Cedar Lake Teas

For the Stuffed Mushrooms:

16 oz. organic baby bella/cremini or white button mushrooms
8 oz. precooked crispy organic or pasture-raised bacon, crumbled
1 large yellow onion, peeled, halved and sliced
5 tablespoon avocado oil - divided
½ cup prepared Wild Child tea (see instructions)
½ cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoon cassava flour or other grain free or gluten free flour (<-- andrecommend)
2 tablespoon nutritional yeast (look for non-fortified/non-synthetic) - optional
½ teaspoon sea salt (<-- salt)
¼ cup fresh pomegranate arils

Instructions

Prepare the Tea

In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Remove from the heat and allow to rest and cool for about 3 minutes. AddWild Child organic teaand allow to steep for 15 minutes. Strain the tea and set aside.

Prepare the Stuffed Mushrooms

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Prepare the mushrooms by gently cleaning the outside and removing the inner stem with a paring knife. Set aside.
In a large saute pan over medium meat, add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Add the sliced onions, stirring occasionally for about 10-13 minutes or until they start to caramelize and turn light golden brown around the edges. Once they are caramelized, add the prepared Wild Child tea and continue to cook until the tea has fully absorbed and infused into the onions, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add 3 tablespoons of avocado oil, chopped herbs, cassava flour, nutritional yeast and sea salt. Stir to combine and then add the tea-infused caramelized onions and stir again. Add the pomegranate arils and give it one last stir to fully combine.
Stuff each mushroom with about one heaping ½ teaspoon of the filing of the mushroom cap, depending on the size of the mushroom. Place stuffed mushrooms on a large baking sheet (I use astoneware large bar pan). Once all of the mushrooms are stuffed, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes (or until the mushrooms have turned dark brown, are releasing their juices and the filing is heated through). Remove from the oven.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Make Ahead Tip:I like to make the bacon, tea and caramelized onions the day before I want to serve the stuffed mushrooms. I store the crispybaconand tea-infused caramelized onions in mason jars in the refrigerator. When I'm ready to make the stuffed mushrooms, I set the bacon and onion mason jars at room temperature until I'm ready to make the stuffing mixture.
The nutritional yeast is optional, but it does add a delicious, cheesy flavor without any dairy. If you can have dairy, by all means, skip the nutritional yeast and add gratedraw/organic Parmigiano-Reggiano instead.
Stuffed mushrooms can be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 1 day and reheated on a low setting in the oven.
