Categories     Mushroom

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients:
4 cups cremini mushrooms (medium to large stems)
or 4 large portobello mushrooms)
For the Pesto Sauce filling:
1 - 2 cups fresh basil
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 - 1 ½ cups raw pistachios (optional: soaked for 4 hours)
4 cloves garlic
1 tsp Himalayan salt

Steps:

  • Begin by preparing the Pesto Sauce in a high powered blender. First combine the basil, olive oil, garlic and salt. Blend on high until a green basil emulsion forms. Add in the nuts and continue blending on high until well combined. Pesto will keep for up to 14 days in the refrigerator. Makes 2 cups _________________________________ In a medium-size bowl, toss the mushrooms (after de-stemming and wiping clean with a damp cloth) with a little olive oil until lightly coated. Then on a covered dehydrator tray, arrange mushrooms concave side up, so that they are barely touching one another. Fill mushroom caps evenly with filling. Dehydrate at 11

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms. Portobello mushrooms are a great choice for stuffing because they are large and have a meaty texture. Other good options include cremini mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms.
  • Clean the mushrooms thoroughly. It is important to ensure that the mushrooms are well cleaned to remove any dirt or grit. To do this, use a damp paper towel or a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Remove the stems. The stems of the mushrooms are tough and chewy, so they should be removed before stuffing. To do this, simply twist the stem off of the mushroom cap.
  • Make sure the pesto is flavorful. The pesto is the key ingredient in stuffed mushrooms, so it is important to make sure it is flavorful. Use fresh herbs, good quality olive oil, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Don't overstuff the mushrooms. When stuffing the mushrooms, be careful not to overstuff them. This will make them difficult to cook evenly.
  • Bake the mushrooms until they are tender. The mushrooms should be baked until they are tender and the filling is hot and bubbly. This usually takes about 20 minutes.

Conclusion:

Pesto stuffed mushrooms are a delicious and easy appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time. Next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give pesto stuffed mushrooms a try.
