Stuffed Mushrooms
Last week one of my friend came down with a packet of button mushrooms and mozarella cheese.Then it was experiment time.The end result was a stuffed mushroom.
what did we do exactly???we did this in two parts first ...cleaning the mushroom and then the stuffing. heres how we dealt wiht the mushroom.
Individually stem the mushrooms and scoop out the unwanted.The stems are to be chopped and used for the filling.
so what is left behind is a mushroom bowl.
Then boil half a litre of water with salt in it...once it starts boiling put the cleaned mushrooms into that.then drain out the water after 2-3 minutes(make sure that its just soft and has not become too spongy).Then jus absorb the water in the mushrooms by using a tissue paper .keep it aside.
Preparing the filling....
Buttoon mushrooms-20 nos
chopped onion -1
chopped green pepper-1
garlic-3 cloves
ginger paste -1/2 teaspoon.
turmeric powder-a pinch
chilly powder-1/4 tsp
soya sauce-3tbsp
tomato sauce-1tbsp
pepper-crushed-1 tbsp
coriander leaves-one small bunch finely chopped
mozarella cheese-1/4 cup(finely grated)
olive oil-to saute the above
salt -to taste
1.Heat the olive oil in the saute pan.
2.Followed by ginger /garlic
3.once its done bring the chopped onions into the pan...put in a little salt at this time.
4 Followed by green pepper,coriander leaves,chopped mushroom stem,masalas and the sauce. saute them for 4-5 mts till u get all the flavours
5.once its done keep it aside.
Spoon in this stuffing to the boiled mushrooms ..and then top it with the mozarella cheese .
use the cheese to completely cover the top portion of the mushroom.

Preheat the oven to 350 F .set the whole thing for about 20-25 mts..with an occasional peep to make sure that u take it out as soon as you see the cheese starts metling and gets sticky.
Then decorate with coriander leaves or dill.and NJOY!
Note:-mushrooms may cause indigestion for few..so if u have such problems avoid them.
