Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 ounces mushrooms
- 1/2 small onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, separated
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/2 cup Pork Rind Crumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or Vege-Sal
- 2 tablespoons minced parsley
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika, approximately
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350° F.
- Wipe your mushrooms clean with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Use the tip of a spoon to scrape out the little “skirt” of gills, then set the caps aside. Throw the stems in your food processor with the S-blade in place. Whack your onion half into a few chunks, and throw that in there, too. Pulse the food processor until it’s all chopped fine.
- Put a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and add the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Swirl them together as the butter melts. Now dump in your mushroom/onion mixture. Sauté for three or four minutes, stirring often.
- Stir in the garlic, pork rind crumbs, parmesan, salt and pepper, and stir everything together well. Take your skillet off the heat and let the mixture cool for five minutes.
- When it’s cooled a bit, stir in the parsley, then the egg, and blend well.
- Stuff this mixture into your mushroom caps, piling it high. Arrange them in an 8×8 pan as you stuff. Sprinkle the tops with a little paprika, just to make ’em look pretty. Now pour the rest of the olive oil in the baking pan, letting it coat the bottom of the pan all around the mushrooms. (Use a little more if you need it.)
- Bake for 45 minutes and serve hot.
