Why this works

A protein-rich, fairly low-carbohydrate dish, but the added salt pushes the sodium content up.

High-quality protein. Minced meat provides a substantial amount of protein per serving, supporting muscle maintenance and satiety.

B vitamins and iron. Mince is a useful source of iron, zinc and B vitamins, especially vitamin B12, which support energy metabolism and red blood cell formation.

Vegetable micronutrients. Mushrooms, tomatoes and spring onions contribute vitamin C, potassium and a range of antioxidants, though the overall vegetable portion is modest.

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C (Fan 180°C, 392°F, Gas Mark 6).
Remove the stalks from the mushrooms and arrange the caps on a baking tray.
Cook the mince in a pan until browned, then add the chopped tomatoes and spring onions.
Spoon the mixture into the mushroom caps.
Bake for 15–18 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is hot.
