It's all Kili's fault. ;-)
I've not had stuffed mushrooms in ages and have never attempted to make
them myself...
I was at the grocery store this morning and the packages of white
mushrooms were GORGEOUS!!! Huge, fresh and delicious looking.
I took those home and cleaned them off, popped the stems out of them and
put the caps aside after treating them with a small amount of Wishbone
italian dressing.
I then dropped the stems into a small electric food chopper and minced
them well, then pre-cooked them in the microwave for 3 minutes to get
out most of the water.
To that I added 3/4 cup of ground beef, 1 stalk of minced celery (did
that with the chinese knife), a little garlic powder, a dash of salt
free lemon pepper 1 Tbs. of roasted sesame seeds and a handful of
shredded jack cheese.
Mixed that all well and stuffed it into the caps, just 'till it was
rounded on top. It was just enough stuffing to do the entire lb.
I then turned on the Hamilton grill and let it heat for 5 minutes or so.
Placed the mushrooms into the grill, closed it and grilled for 10
minutes.
They were amazing......
My housemate wants me to do that more often. ;-) Total prep time was
maybe 10 minutes.
Next time I think I'll top them with a little grated parmesan.
Cheers!
