Oyster Mushroom And Roasted Hazelnut Stuffing Recipes

OYSTER STUFFING PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Gently scrap brown gills from inside of each mushroom cap. Lightly wipe with damp papertowel. Rub each cap with a little olive oil and set aside.
• Toast bread cubes until golden brown on baking sheet, and remove to a large bowl.
• Heat butter over medium high heat in a large skillet, add onions and celery and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes until tender.
• Remove from heat and stir in parsley and other spices. Stir in stock and eggs.
• Stir in bread cubes, and chopped oysters and toss well until stuffing is moist but not packed together.
• Remove approximately 4 cups stuffing and place in food processor. Pulse until mixture is finely chopped and comes together slightly, about 30 seconds. Repeat if necessary so you have about 3 cups of chopped stuffing.
• Reserve remaining stuffing and place in small casserole dish. Refrigerate for later use.
• Divide the stuffing among the mushroom caps, and 1/2 cup for each mushroom. Place filled mushrooms on a baking sheet.
• Bake until golden brown on top and mushrooms are tender, about 15 to 18 minutes. Garnish with remaining 2 tablespoons minced parsley.
