Stuffed Chestnut Mushrooms

I've tried stuffed Portobello mushrooms so many times, but they always throw up the same issue - way too much water! Every time you bake them, they ooze so much water that the stuffing gets filtered down and it's good, but not amazing. So I tried using chestnut mushrooms one day and it instantly solved all my problems, they hold together perfectly so they look beautiful and taste so much better. My favourite thing about this dish though is the way that the sun-dried tomato and pine nut stuffing melts into the mushrooms as they bake, it's divine. I love serving them with my Carrot, Orange and Cashew Salad or a side of potatoes, either a bowl of Classic Mashed Potato or lots of Sweet Potato wedge.
