Even though we're making lots of food at home lately (and some pretty great things I must say). I've had little time to post anything new. But tonight is an odd evening, and I thought I'd sneak this in. We're ordering pizza, but have some mushrooms we need to use. So as an appetizer before the pizza we are having some homemade, addictive stuffed mushrooms.
Here's the recipe my family stole from a neighbor back in the 70's. It's simple, vegetarian, and great for serving when you have company coming and want something delicious, unusual and easy.
Stuffed mushrooms (Donna Style)
Button Mushrooms
Italian breadcrumbs
Sweet vermouth
And our addition -- Fresh good grated parmesan cheese
Clean the mushrooms.
Remove the stems and chop off the very edge where it is really tough.
Chop the rest of the stem into small bits.
In a small bowl mix the mushroom stems with italian breadcrumbs (equal amount to the amount of chopped stems you've got. If you'd like to-- add a little parmesan here - we used about 3 tablespoons or so to about a cup of the mushroom mixture.
Add enough sweet vermouth to moisten the crumbs and hold the mixture together. Stuff the mushrooms with the mixture.
Broil on low rack and on low broiler setting until mushrooms are soft and the crumb mixture is browned.
There is something oddly addictive about these. I think its the sweet vermouth. Anyhow our two year old has eaten four of these so far and would probably eat a full dozen if we let her!
Mushroom addict. :)
