STUFFED MUSHROOMS



Stuffed Mushrooms image

Categories     Bread     Sauce     Mushroom     Bake     Vegetarian

Yield serves 6 to 8 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 10

Two 10-ounce packages large white stuffing mushrooms (about 24 mushrooms)
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions (about 4)
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
6 tablespoons grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano
3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the stems from the mushrooms (set the caps aside), and finely chop them. Put the stems in a large bowl, and add the scallions, bell pepper, bread crumbs, 3 tablespoons of the grated cheese, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, and half the salt. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, to moisten all of the crumbs and make a fairly tight stuffing. Combine the white wine and 1/2 cup hot water in a small bowl, and season with the remaining salt.
  • Spread the butter all around the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch Pyrex baking dish. Fill the mushroom caps with the stuffing, and fit them in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the mushrooms, and drizzle on the remaining olive oil. Pour the wine and water around the mushrooms in the baking dish.
  • Bake until the mushrooms are crisp on top but tender and the juices are bubbling underneath, about 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size. If there is too much juice left in the baking dish, pour it into a small pan and reduce to thicken. Otherwise, stir the remaining parsley into the pan and serve sauce with the mushrooms.
