1 1lb medium mushroom
(the secret is to buy fresh, not packaged
in plastic)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 small green pepper, finely chopped
3 Tbs butter
1 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp thyme leaves crushed
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 Tbs butter
Preparation
Buy the freshest mushrooms, wash and dry thoroughly. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Twist stems from mushrooms, leaving caps. Finely chop tender portions of stems to equal 1/3 cup. Cook and stir chopped ( I use electronic food chopper for onions and peppers) mushrooms, onion and green pepper in 3 tablespoons butter for 5 minutes. Stir in bread crumbs, salt, thyme, turmeric, and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in shallow oven proof pan. Distribute melted butter on the bottom of the pan. Fill mushroom caps with stuffing mix and place in ovenproof pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn oven to broil and broil mushrooms 3-4 inches from heat for 2-3 minutes (carefully monitor the broiling). When mushrooms are browned on top, remove from oven and serve immediately.
Serves 8-10 for appetizers
