Here's a new recipe for Fattie Stuffed Mushrooms. These were absolutely amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed them and they all disappeared almost as quickly as I put them on the table.
Be warned about the measurements in this recipe. I don't measure anything when I cook. The measurements posted are all best guesses. Feel free to adjust as you see fit. To me that's part of the fun of the cook. Who ever follows a recipe exactly?
Fattie stuffed Mushrooms
*1 lb smoked Jimmy Dean Sage Fattie - crumbled or diced
*2 eggs
*1/4 cup bread crumbs - probably less - just enough to hold things together
*1 box chopped spinach, drained of any extra water
*Shot or so of red wine. I used Merlot. Keep the mixture moist
*4 scallions finely chopped
*1 small bottle of pine nuts - toast in a pan before using
*A few handfuls of golden raisins. I used them whole, but next time I'll chop them.
*4 oz of crumbled feta
*Salt and Pepper to taste. Be careful of the salt - the feta is salty on its own.
Mix all together and place in uncooked mushroom caps.
Bake in 450 degree oven for 15-18 minutes, until mushrooms are tender but not mushy. I'm sure you could smoke these, but I only wanted the smoke flavor from the fattie.
I used a 40oz box of mushrooms and had a lot of stuffing left over. You could probably cut everything in half and still have enough stuffing for the 40 oz package of mushrooms.
This is a picture of the stuffed mushrooms as they headed into the oven. Looking back, I should have used an ice cream scoop to put the stuffing in the caps. It would have certainly be neater.
I had a picture of the finished product, but it didn't come out. The picture was blurry and the mushrooms didn't look that much different, just a little darker.
