Preparation

Mix together all the stuffing ingredients. Season generously.

Remove the mushroom stalk by cutting it where it joins the cap. Chop the stalk and mix into the stuffing. Place the mushroom caps on a baking sheet or in an ovenproof dish, underside up.

Divide the stuffing between the 4 mushrooms and smooth over. Cook in the centre of a preheated oven at 400 °F (200 °C) for 20 to 25 minutes or until mushrooms are tender and the meat is cooked through.

Serve with a green salad and pasta.
