Recipe: Mamma's Stuffed Mushrooms (using Italian sausage)

MAMMA'S STUFFED MUSHROOMS

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 sweet Italian sausages
5 Tablespoons flavored bread crumbs
1 teaspoon grated cheese
1 Tablespoon minced parsley
1 egg
1 pound mushrooms
chicken stock

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

In a frying pan, gently brown the minced garlic in the olive oil.

Remove the sausage meat from the casing, crumble the meat into the pan, and brown that, too.

In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley and egg. Add the cooked sausage.

Wash the mushrooms quickly, because they tend to absorb water. Remove the mushroom stems and save them for soup, or mince them and put them back into the stuffing. Fill the caps nicely with the stuffing. Place them in a baking pan lined with foil. Add a little chicken stock to the bottom of the pan (6-10 Tablespoons), just to give them moisture.

Bake at 325 degrees F for 30 minutes. If the mushrooms are small, maybe 15 minutes will do. Serve them hot!
