Do you hate the feeling of cooking for hours only to serve your guests food that they pass on because they are on a diet? Well look no further than this great and simple recipe for stuffed mushrooms. Not only do you save a great deal of time, you serving your guests a delicious meal that wouldn’t clog their arteries.
Here is what you need:8 oz package of white button mushrooms
3 large cloves of garlic minced
4 cups of baby spinach leaves chopped
2 tbsp Parmesan, shredded
Kosher Salt & Pepper
Olive Oil cooking spray
First preheat your oven to 400˚. Then clean the mushrooms and remove stems. When you clean your mushrooms do not submerge them under water, instead use a damp paper towel to wipe the mushroom off. Then mince the stems and set them aside as they will be part of your stuffing.
Next mince the garlic or use a garlic press for those of you who don't like the smell of garlic lingering on your fingers.
Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat, spray with cooking spray. Add the minced garlic and mushroom stems. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper. While cooking, chop the spinach; you don’t want large pieces or stems.
Add the spinach to the skillet a little at a time and cook down sprinkling a bit more salt and pepper. Remove filling from heat after a few moments.
Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Stuff the mushrooms with the spinach mixture. Really jam it in there you just have more then enough.
Finally top with Parmesan cheese and bake for about 20 minutes.
(To really spice things up you can add a little bit of ham or bacon into the filling for all those meat lovers.)
