Stuffed Mushrooms
By: Dana Jacobi, author of The Natural Kitchen: Soy!
Serving Amount: 4
Ingredients:
| 4 ounces Lightlife® Gimme Lean® Sausage | | olive oil cooking spray | | 16 medium button mushrooms, stemmed | | 2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided | | 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion | | 1/3 cup finely chopped green bell pepper | | 1/3 cup finely chopped red bell pepper | | 1 clove garlic, finely chopped | | 3 Tbsp. Italian-style bread crumbs | | 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley | | 1/8 tsp. salt | | fresh lemon wedges (optional) |
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Arrange the mushroom caps, top down, on the baking sheet. Coat the mushrooms with cooking spray. Bake until they are softened but still resist in the center when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Set the mushrooms aside. Leave the oven on and leave the baking sheet so it can be reused. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the Gimme Lean® Sausage meat until it is separated and resembles cooked loose sausage, about 4 minutes, using a wooden spoon to break it up. Transfer the cooked Gimme Lean® to a bowl, and set aside. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet. Sauté onion, peppers and garlic until they are soft, about 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Mix in the cooked Gimme Lean®, bread crumbs, parsley and salt. Form 1 tablespoon of the filling into a ball. Place it into a mushroom cap, pressing it firmly into the mushroom. It should be generously mounded. Repeat, filling all the mushrooms. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the baking sheet. Bake the stuffed mushrooms until the filling is lightly browned on top, about 12 minutes. Just before serving, squeeze a bit of lemon juice on the mushrooms, if desired. Serve hot or warm. These mushrooms freeze well, wrapped in foil packets. To serve, unwrap and reheat in a 350°F oven until the mushrooms are heated through.
