They are sooooo good! They taste gourmet, but they are so easy~!
Buy the white, basic mushrooms from the grocery store - very large (1-2 cartons)
Ingredients:
- basic, white mushrooms - large ones!
- bread crumbs - Italian style - 1/2 cup or so
- olive oil
- garlic - 4-5 cloves
- onion - 1/4 of a medium onion
- parsley
- salt
- pepper
- (cheese is optional - parmesan handful or two) - I never cook with dairy - but you can! :)
Let's start:
1) Take the stem out of the umbrella portion, or the top of the mushroom - place aside, do not throw away we will use this in the stuffing!
2) I like to rub olive oil over the whole mushroom - keeps it moist, yes moist, while it cooks.
3) Place the stems from all of the mushrooms into a food processor along with the garlic, onion, and bread crumbs. Process it until everything is finely chopped. I personally prefer to add in the olive oil while running the food processor. You will need a lot, even more than you think, of olive oil. You want the stuffing to be soft, not dry. You can add cheese if that is your thing! I add cheese afterwards for the dairy people, so I can still eat the non-cheese mushrooms!
4) Spoon the filling into the open side of the mushrooms, be generous.
5) Bake on 350 degrees for 30 or so minutes until cooked thoroughly!
yum yum yum!
