STUFFED MUSHROOMS

May 3, 2015 By ashavenugopal Leave a Comment

 I’ve had stuffed mushrooms many times, but i had never thought of making it at home till my best buddy made them for me. Stuffed mushrooms i had had till then was made using portobello mushrooms. Portobello mushrooms have a wider cap making it easier to stuff. While it is a commonly consumed type of mushroom world over, it is stocked only in a few gourmet stores in india. So most of my experiments with cooking is limited to button mushrooms which are freel available.
When my buddy introduced me to the stuffed button mushrooms, i savoured it. You can stuff the mushrooms with sauteed onions, stem of the mushrooms, cottage cheese, capsicum..the options are endless. It is a good appetizer for parties which can be pre-made and grilled/baked just before serving it. 
So if you live in a place where portobello is available, use it, else button mushrooms should serve the purpose just fine!!
