I made these last night and they turned out really good. I found the recipe on allrecipes.com, I actually made them as our dinner meal. Got a big tub of mushrooms from Costco and I had the rest of the ingredients although I subbed sharp cheddar for the grated parm cheese. I made smoothies (I dump a bunch of frozen fruit from Costco’s frozen section, a little orange juice and milk into the blender and there ya go!)to go with these as our meal and I thought it was a lovely healthy meal (although I don’t think the family, minus Guenna who loved them, thought they should be the main course. They were fairly easy to make, great for a side or an hors d’ oeuvres. (Note to mom-this is not necessarily a meal for toddlers-I haven’t met many toddlers who are crazy about cooked mushrooms! :)
Nutty Stuffed Mushrooms
Ingredients:
18 large fresh mushrooms
1 small onion, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup almond meal
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
dash cayenne pepper
DIRECTIONS
1. Remove stems from mushrooms; set caps aside. Finely chop stems; place in a paper towel and squeeze to remove any liquid. In a skillet, saute chopped mushrooms and onion in butter for 5 minutes or until tender. Remove from the heat; set aside.
2. In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, pecans, Parmesan cheese, salt, basil and cayenne; add mushroom mixture. Stuff firmly into mushroom caps. Place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 15-18 minutes or until tender. Serve warm.
