Ingredients
6 large button mushrooms or small portabello, about 1 pound/450 g
Olive oil, for drizzling
2 tablespoons butter
1 shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon crushed pepperoncino
3 to 4 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 to 6 tablespoons fresh chevre (goat cheese)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
Watercress or pea sprouts, for serving
Reduced balsamic vinegar, for serving
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Remove the stems from the mushrooms, finely chop, and set aside. Set the caps, holes downwards, on a baking sheet, rub the mushrooms with a little olive oil, and bake 10 minutes to shrink slightly.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saute pan and gently fry the shallot until slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add the chopped mushroom stems until soft, about 5 minutes more. Add the garlic, thyme, and pepperoncino one minute. Stir through all but a tablespoon of the bread crumbs. Taste, and season the mixture. Mix the parsley and remaining breadcrumbs together in a bowl.
- Pull the mushrooms from the oven and turn them hole-side up. Season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Divide the cheese evenly among the mushrooms, pile on the filling, and then scatter the bread crumb-parsley mixture evenly over top. Drizzle with olive oil, and bake until the tops are golden and the filling is very hot, about 20 minutes
- Serve with watercress or pea sprouts on the side and a generous swirl of balsamic reduction.
