Stuffed Mushrooms Shauns Way Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove and reserve the mushroom stems. There should be about two cups. Chop the stems coarsely.
• Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the mushroom caps. Sprinkle with the juice of half a lemon and a generous grinding of pepper. Cook, stirring often but gently so as not to break the caps. This is to remove the moisture from the caps. Cook about two minutes. Remove the caps to a platter.
• Add one tablespoon of butter to the saucepan and add the shallots and garlic. When they've begun to soften, add the chopped mushroom stems and juice of the remaining half a lemon. Add the celery, thyme and bay leaf. Cook, stirring often, about five minutes. Remove the bay leaf.
• Spoon and scrape the mixture into the container of a food processor. Add the parsley and process to a fine puree.
• Return the mixture to a saucepan and cook, stirring often, about five minutes. Add the egg and bread crumbs. Cook about 10 seconds, stirring, and remove from the heat. Stir in cheese. Salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break off stems. Chop stems extremely fine, discarding tough end of stems.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped mushroom stems to the skillet. Fry until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn garlic. Set aside to cool.
• When garlic and mushroom mixture is no longer hot, stir in cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder and cayenne pepper. Mixture should be very thick. Using a little spoon, fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange the mushroom caps on prepared cookie sheet.

Stir in the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper until evenly mixed. Spoon the filling into the mushroom caps and place into an 8x8-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
