They’re rich in protein and plenty of micronutrients such as zinc, manganese, copper, selenium, phosphorus, and B complex vitamins.

Clean mushrooms with a cloth and remove stems. In a small bowl, mix tamari sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Brush mushrooms with the tamari mixture, let marinate for 5-10 minutes, then grill over a hot grill for 2-3 minutes, until cooked.
In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat, then add the onion and sautée for 1 or 2 minutes until soft. Mix in tomatoes, let cook for 1-2 minutes, add red beans, and season with nutmeg, sea salt, and black pepper. Let cook for 5 more minutes and, once cooked, remove from heat, add spinach leaves and mix well.
Mash the avocado with a fork and mix in lemon juice and fresh cilantro or parsley.
Spoon a heaping spoonful of the bean and spinach mixture into each mushroom cap and top with a spoonful of the avocado mash. Serve with a green salad and enjoy!
