You can combine it with a bowl of salad, bread and some wine and have it as a complete meal. Mushrooms are quite healthy and nutritious.
They are full of proteins and contain zero fat. Stuffing makes them rich in flavour and adds to the nutrition quotient.
Parmesan Stuffed Mushroom: Remove the stems of the mushrooms. Sauté 4 green onions, mushroom stems and 1 clove crushed garlic in 2 tbsp butter. Mix in 3-4 tbsp bread crumbs, 3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese, ½ tsp basil and parsley and season with salt and pepper. Fill the mushroom caps with this mixture and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 350 °C.
Crab Stuffed Mushroom: Same as parmesan stuffed mushroom, except add the crab meat, 1 tbsp chopped parsley and 1 tbsp chopped pimiento, 3 tbsp mayonnaise and a pinch of mustard, while sautéing the vegetables.
Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms: Same as above, except add the cooked bacon and 1 whole egg to the sautéed vegetables.
