have you got any recipies for stuffed mushrooms. ...


I've adapted this recipe from _Nikki and David Goldbeck's
American Wholefoods Cuisine_. It works well with baby
portabellas and the plain white buttons.

2 dozen large mushrooms
3 Tbs butter
1/3 cup Gruyere
2-3 garlic cloves minced
1/2 small white onion chopped fine
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup sunflower seeds ground to powder
1 Tbs wheat germ
Chopped parsley, fresh oregano, s&p to taste

Remove stems from the mushrooms and chop them fine. Saute
the chopped stems in 2Tbs butter with the garlic and onion.
Just when the stems have released their juices and start to
get very lightly brown throw in everything else and remove
from heat.

Arrange the mushroom caps on a baking sheet, spoon in the
mixture above, drizzle with the remaining Tbs of butter and
bake at 400F for 10-12 minutes.

Sounds good, though I like to add finely chopped celery, thyme and
crumbled bacon to my stuffed mushrooms. I also like them cooked on a
grill or smoker until they start to give up their juices.

Anyhow, given one of the followups to the previous post
(alt.drugs.psychedelics), I'm not sure that they weren't actually
referring to slightly different uses for mushrooms. (FWIW, fly agaric
is amanita muscaria, which is well-known for its psychoactive properties.)

Of course if you already knew all that, just disregard this post. :-)
