Stuffed Field Mushrooms
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Serves 4 with a salad
Degree of difficulty: very easy
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
- 4 field mushrooms
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 10 basil leaves
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 50g blue cheese
- 50g cheddar cheese
- Parmesan cheese for grating at the end
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step 1 - Preheat oven to 180C/350F and line one baking tray with parchment. Remove the stalks from the field mushrooms (plucking them off is easier than cutting them I find). Place the stalks in a food processor along with the garlic, walnut, basil, half of the oil and the two cheeses. Process until it becomes a paste.
Step 2 - Divide amongst the four mushrooms and brush the remaining oil on the mushrooms and bake for 25 minutes. Grate some parmesan cheese over them and season with salt and pepper.
