Directions: |
Directions:Remove stems from mushrooms by wiggling the stems until they loosen. Mince stems; set aside. Place caps, round side up, on an ungreased baking sheet. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until mushrooms exude moisture. Set aside.
In a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, saute shallots, pimento and garlic in sesame oil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent browning. Add minced mushroom stems; cook 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in bread crumbs, basil, parsley, cheese, almonds, oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Stuff mixture into mushroom caps. Broil until lightly browned and heated through, about 3 to 5 minutes.
If making ahead, freeze on a large baking sheet until solid. Store in the freezer in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags.
To serve, preheat broiler and broil frozen stuffed mushrooms 5 to 8 minutes, until lightly browned and heated through. (Do not thaw before cooking or they will become soggy.) Serve immediately. |
