17/11/2023

Stuffed champignon mushrooms with sausage are a tasty appetizer and easy to make. Here’s the recipe to prepare them:

Ingredients

  • 500 g of medium-sized champignon mushrooms
  • 200 g of pork sausage
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Chopped parsley, to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil, to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 50 g of grated parmesan cheese
  • Breadcrumbs, to taste (if desired for added crunchiness)
  • White wine, to taste (optional to deglaze the sausage)

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
  2. Gently clean the champignon mushrooms with a damp cloth or a soft brush, removing any dirt residue. Detach the stems from the caps and chop them finely.
  3. In a pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and sauté the chopped garlic until it turns golden. Add the mushroom stems and let them cook until they have softened.
  4. Remove the garlic and add the crumbled sausage, cooking it until it becomes slightly golden. If desired, you can deglaze with a bit of white wine.
  5. Season with salt, pepper, and chopped parsley according to your taste. Let the mixture cool slightly.
  6. Fill the mushroom caps with the sausage mixture. Sprinkle the top of each mushroom with grated parmesan cheese and, if you wish, some breadcrumbs for added crunchiness.
  7. Place the stuffed mushrooms in an oiled baking dish or lined with parchment paper. Drizzle some olive oil over the top.
  8. Bake the stuffed mushrooms for about 15-20 minutes or until the stuffing is golden and the mushrooms are tender.
  9. Serve them hot as an appetizing appetizer.

Curiosity

Mushrooms are very commonly used in Italian cuisine and are versatile in various preparations. These natural “cups” can also be stuffed with other ingredients such as cheeses, chopped vegetables, or other types of meat. They can also be served as a rich side dish for meat main courses.

If you want an even more Italian touch, you could use sausage with wild fennel which will add an aromatic note typical of some Italian regions. Enjoy your meal!
