SO HOW'D IT GO?
I used the pesto from this recipe, http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=37720.msg481326#msg481326 and these tasted great. It was good to find a stuffed mushroom recipe without spinach since my husband doesn't like cooked spinach. Great recipe and I will use it again.
I removed the stems the first time, and added the stems to a veggie broth I was cooking. This last time I made the stuffed mushrooms, I chopped up the stems and added them to the stuffing mixture. Understandably, the stuffing didn't have as rich a taste, so I added a little extra vegan parm until I liked the taste again.
I also loved these mushrooms! If you add the chopped stems (with food processor) into the recipe it goes a lot further and tastes great! I give it a 5 out of 5.
Should I remove the stems?
Normally the stem becomes part of the stuffing...I don't want to waste any mushroom parts.
I give this recipe 5 STARS!
This was insanely simple to make, but looked fancy and tasted very rich. I This recipe is a keeper, and I recommend other people try it.
I just mixed some bread crumbs with vegan parmasean and some store-bought pesto, stuffed the mushrooms and sprayed them with oil before baking. Perfect!!
