Ingredients
- 6 portobello mushrooms, stemmed (reserve 1 cup minced stems)
- 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 12 ounces hot Italian sausage
- 12 ounces sweet Italian sausage
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
- 2 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- Balsamic vinegar, for drizzling
Directions
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.

I almost gave 4 instead of 5 stars because 10 minutes prep time was not the case, it was closer to an hour for me without a food processor. However, it has convinced me to go get add one to my kitchen finally. The mushrooms turned out great, I don't know the number counts but this looks to be a nice recipe for diabetics., which I am The husband is in love with these, definitely making this again.

I made these last night minus the bread crumbs. Um yeah, they were out of this world delicious. I am making them again this week. It's great for those looking for a low carb meal. Fantastic.

I've probably made this over a dozen times in just a year, we love it so so much! My biggest tip, don't bother finely chopping your veggies, you just throw it all in a food processor at the end. And I don't wait for meat to finish browning before I throw in the veggies since they might need a bit of extra cooking time since roughly chopped. Also since I never can find just 1 stalk of celery I usually skip it and add a bit more bell pepper and onion. LOVE this recipe so much!
