Servings: 3-4
Author Notes: This was the only way to stuff mushrooms when I was a kid. Back then, the adventurous cook might use flavored bread crumbs instead of plain. For a slightly zestier version, add 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and one more minced clove of garlic.
Ingredients: 16 medium white mushrooms (about 14 ounces)
1 tablespoon butter, margarine, or vegetable oil
1/4 cup minced onion
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs (plain or flavored)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions:

Makes 16 Mushrooms, Serves 3 to 4

1. Preheat the oven to 375° F.

2. Wipe Mushrooms clean with a damp cloth and separate the caps from stems. Set the caps aside and chop the stems.

3. In a medium skillet, melt the butter or margarine (or heat the oil) over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chopped mushroom stems; cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. If Mushrooms give off liquid, cook until it evaporates. Remove from heat. Stir in bread crumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper.

4. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling into each of the mushroom caps, place into a 9 X 13 inch baking pan. Bake 12 minutes or until heated through.

Variation:
Herb Stuffed Mushrooms Use seasoned bread crumbs plus 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh basil and 1/8 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme.
