🍄 Savory Spinach & Mushroom Crispy Rice Paper Parcels

⏱️ Times:

 * Prep time: 10 minutes

 * Cook time: 10-15 minutes

 * Total time: ~20-25 minutes

 * Servings: 2-3 (makes 4-6 parcels)

🧾 Ingredients:

 * 4-6 large rice paper wrappers (approx. 22cm / 8.5-inch diameter)

 * 1 tbsp olive oil (or cooking spray)

 * 8 oz (227g) sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)

 * 4-5 cups (approx. 180-220g) fresh spinach, roughly chopped

 * 1-2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)

 * Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

 * 1/2 cup (55g) shredded mozzarella cheese (low-moisture, part-skim recommended)

 * Optional: 1/4 cup (25g) crumbled feta cheese for extra savory flavor

 * Optional: A very light cooking spray or 1 tsp olive oil for brushing the parcels

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

 * Prep Filling: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté 5-7 mins until browned. Add chopped spinach & minced garlic; cook 3-5 mins until spinach is wilted and liquid evaporates. Season with salt & pepper. Let cool slightly.

 * Combine: In a bowl, mix cooled spinach-mushroom with shredded mozzarella (and optional feta).

 * Preheat: Oven to 200°C (400°F) with parchment-lined sheet, OR electric grill to medium-high (lightly spray plates/parcels).

 * Soften Rice Paper: Dip one wrapper in warm water for 10-15 seconds until pliable (don't oversoak!).

 * Assemble: Lay softened wrapper flat. Spoon ~1/4-1/3 cup filling onto one half. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon, pressing edges to seal. Repeat!

 * Cook:

   * Oven: Place on sheet, seam-side down. Lightly spray/brush with oil. Bake 10-15 mins until golden & crispy.

   * Grill: Lightly spray grill/parcels. Grill 5-8 mins until crispy & golden, monitoring closely.

 * Serve: Carefully remove & serve warm! Great on their own or with a light dipping sauce (like a sugar-free chili-garlic sauce!).

🌟 💡 Better Filling Suggestion! 💡

For an even more satisfying and protein-packed lower-carb option, swap out some of the cheese for:

 * Flaked Cooked Chicken Breast or Turkey (shredded): Adds lean protein and a heartier bite without adding significant carbs.

 * Cooked Shrimp (chopped): A fantastic lean protein that cooks quickly and pairs well with the mushrooms and spinach.

 * Scrambled Egg/Egg Whites: Adds protein and can bind the filling beautifully.

 * Smoked Salmon (flaked): For a gourmet, healthy fat boost!

Simply add your chosen protein to the sautéed spinach and mushroom mixture before assembling!
