Mushrooms!

I have some huge mushrooms that I think will do well for stuffing or filling. I don`t know what to fill or stuff them with, so ideas would be greatefully accepted.

How about a mixture of finely diced onion, green/red pepper and a little mincemeat. Fry it off in a pan, along wit the diced mushroomstalks, season to taste and put it in the oven on a low temperature. You can put a little knob of garlicbutter on top to make it nice and moist.

That sounds very good. Mincemeat has two translations (I had to look it up) in my dictionary, one said it`s ground up meat and one that had to do with rasins and such. I suppose you mean the meat based mincemeat?

Yes, mincemeat can be ground beef, or a mixture of ground pork/beef. It's a good recipe and you can fill large tomatoes with the same stuffing. Mushrooms and tomatoes are both quite hobbity I think. Putt a little mashed potatoes on the side, maybe some green salad and dig in :)

I do have a recipe, but I never made it myself, so I don't now if it's any good. It's filled with mushrooms, herbs, ham, whipped cream and cheese. If you want to have it, just let me know and I translate it for you.

Yes thank you!

I'll sent you the recipe by e-mail in a little bit, that's easier for me.

How about sausage and cream cheese?

Brown 1/2 pound ground pork sausage and drain off grease. Mix with 8 ounces softened cream cheese. Stuff into mushroom caps. Broil 2-3 minutes, until lightly brown.

That sounds interesting! I might try that one too. Thanks.

OK....My next entry was going to be for stuffed mushrooms....so I'll do it here...

First, try for large mushrooms because they shrink like mad.

Clean and pull the stems off. Then I saute the caps, cap side down for a couple of minutes until they start to weep. This brings out the flavor. Save any liquid and add in later.

Then Saute about 1/2 cup chopped onions together with the stems that are also chopped. Add a clove of garlic (through the press). Then bread crumbs (not packaged...get bread slices and dry slightly in 250 degree oven, then grate into the mushroom-onion mix. Little pieces of bread are OK too. Then moisten with white wine. Season with salt, pepper (dill works also) Stuff into the mushrooms and bake at 350 for about 15 mins.
