  1. Found the most magnificent fresh whole mushrooms at Fiesta market in
    Austin last weekend. :-) Some were really huge!

    So naturally, I just had to make.....

    Stuffed Mushroom caps:

    Before:

    During:

    http://tinypic.com/fnfh1h.jpg

    After (done):

    http://tinypic.com/fnfhhk.jpg

    3 8oz. packages of mushrooms.

    Wash well, pop the stems out and reserve.
    Coat the caps lightly with some EVOO and a few drops of soy sauce.

    Mince stems into a bowl and add
    3 ribs fine chopped celery
    1 chopped roma tomato
    1 chopped Shallot
    about 3 tbs. minced chives
    A bit of minced fresh herbs:
    Rosemary
    Thyme
    Basil
    Dash of white pepper powder
    Dash of onion powder
    Dash of garlic powder (or one clove minced garlic)
    2 tbs. grated Parmesan cheese
    1/2 cup Shredded mozarella cheese
    1 egg, beaten

    Mix all ingredients well, stuff into mushroom caps.
    Place into grill, close lid and grill for 10 minutes.

    I still have some Portabello mushroom caps in the 'frige.
    I plan to get some fresh crab for those and make a crab meat stuffing
    for grilling. ;-d

    You are welcome! :-)
    But, with a few exceptions, I rarely make them the same way twice! ;-D

    One thing I always do is use the minced stems as part of my stuffing.
    The basil made a big difference, I have two live ones in the greenhouse
    at the moment. I need to probably plant more from seed to go thru the
    winter. It's one of my favorite fresh herbs.

    Yes, basil is a good herb, but I rarely use it for mushrooms because
    mushrooms, IMHO, need parsley.
    BTW next time I want to try your recipe.
    A question: in my country, basil grew only in spring -summer because here it
    is too cold. How do you do to have it in winter? You have said that you put
    it in the greenhouse. I have tried to plant it in a pot inside my kitchen,
    but it din't grew.
    I don't know why!

    caps,
    but I fill them with mushrooms legs, parsley and pecorino cheese.

    Always! :-)
    Hence the crab meat stuffing for the portabellos.
    I popped the stems off of those at the store since they are sold by
    weight. I'll post what I did when I'm done with them. I intend to use
    FRESH dungeness crab meat rather than canned. Not quite sure yet what
    else I'm going to add, but will probably use lemon, butter and dill weed
    as the main flavorings. Maybe a bit of basil.

    I tend to make stuff up as I go along now that I have an instinct for
    flavorings.

    I did not have any on hand, but I'll keep that in mind.
    Parsley has a rather sharp flavor. Might not need it with the celery.

    It needs direct sunlight and lots of it.
    If you have a window with a south exposure, it might do ok!

    Ohh! It's a little difficult to find fresh pulps of crabs here. Perhaps you
    can find near sea-countries. BTW I wait for this recipe: I think it's great!

    Yes, Parsley has a sharp flavour and it is good for all the kind of fish!
    Think that here in Italy, in the shops where they sell fish they sell also
    parsley !

    Better and less expensive that way. I can get fresh frozen dungeness at
    Wal-mart for a decent price.

    Those are the two fish we eat the most of, along with White fish, as
    they are more affordable. Fish can get very expensive.

    I'll have to try that. Dill is usually my preferred fish flavoring.

    Frozen.
    They are a west coast animal and I live in the gulf coast region.
    I can get live, but it's far more expensive! I can get live blue crab
    cheap but they are a PITA to clean.

  11. I'm shocked! While the recipe looks very good, you start off by saying
    'wash the mushrooms'! I never heard of such. I've always been advised
    to just brush them off since they absoerb so much water if you wash
    them. Comments?

    I like this recipe! I want to try next time. I always make mushrooms
    caps,
    but I fill them with mushrooms legs, parsley and pecorino cheese.
    yes , i want to try your recipe! Thank you, OM
    Pandora

    You are welcome! :-)
    But, with a few exceptions, I rarely make them the same way twice! ;-D

    Ohhhh! So you like experiments!

    One thing I always do is use the minced stems as part of my stuffing.
    The basil made a big difference, I have two live ones in the greenhouse
    at the moment. I need to probably plant more from seed to go thru the
    winter. It's one of my favorite fresh herbs.

    Yes, basil is a good herb, but I rarely use it for mushrooms because
    mushrooms, IMHO, need parsley.
    BTW next time I want to try your recipe.
    A question: in my country, basil grew only in spring -summer because here it
    is too cold. How do you do to have it in winter? You have said that you put
    it in the greenhouse. I have tried to plant it in a pot inside my kitchen,
    but it din't grew.
    I don't know why!
    Cheers

    I will just buy the whole crab and pick the meat myself. :-)
    Better and less expensive that way. I can get fresh frozen dungeness at
    Wal-mart for a decent price.

    Fresh or frozen? I think I can get the frozen ones too!

    Frozen.
    They are a west coast animal and I live in the gulf coast region.

    Where in the gulf? Luisiana? Texas? perhaps you have told me yet, and sorry
    if I have forgotten.

    Live crabs? I couldn't clean them, poor animals !🙂

    These had a few flecks of compost on them. ;-)
    Even tho' it's sterile, I'm just not up to eating cowshit and as long as
    you cook them right away, rinsing them off does not hurt them...

    O' you cook them first!
    I start with cold water. Put them in, cover, bring up to the boil and
    turn off. They don't even struggle if you start the water cold!

    You are right! You must not wash Mushrooms. You should clean them with a
    damp cloth.

    I've heard you should brush them off, but I ALWAYS wash them. Eating that

    I'm with you and Om, obviously. Just a quick rinse, that's all,
    you don't scrub them with Comet for pete's sake (laugh). Get
    that dirt offa there. No one thinks anything if you wash off an
    apple before you eat it; yes, I know, the apple skin is tougher
    than the mushroom skin, but they don't soak up as much water
    as people would think. Alton Brown even proved that on his
    show.
