SAUSAGE-STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Using your hands, lightly rub each portobello mushroom with 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
- Cook the sausage in a medium skillet until browned, about 4 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and mushroom stems and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
- Transfer sausage-vegetable mixture to the bowl of a food processor. Add, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, 1/4 cup of Parmesan, 1/4 cup of parsley, the Essence, and the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Pulse until mixture is finely chopped and comes together slightly, about 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the egg, and stir until well combined.
- Divide the filling among the mushroom caps, about 1/2 cup for each mushroom. Place the filled mushrooms on a baking sheet. Combine remaining 1/4 cup of bread crumbs and 1/4 cup of Parmesan in a small mixing bowl. Divide the bread crumb mixture evenly among the tops of the mushrooms. Bake until golden brown on top and the mushrooms are tender, about 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with remaining tablespoon of parsley, drizzle with olive oil and vinegar and serve warm or at room temperature.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms. Portobello mushrooms are the best choice for this recipe because they are large and have a meaty texture. Other good options include cremini mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms.
- Remove the stems. The stems of the mushrooms are tough and woody, so they should be removed before stuffing them. Use a spoon to gently scrape out the stems.
- Season the mushrooms. Before stuffing them, season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Use a variety of fillings. The filling for these mushrooms can be customized to your liking. Some popular options include sausage, gorgonzola cheese, spinach, and bread crumbs.
- Cook the mushrooms until they are tender. The mushrooms should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. Overcooking them will make them tough and rubbery.
- Serve the mushrooms hot. These mushrooms are best served hot out of the oven. They can be garnished with fresh parsley or chives.
