Stuffed Mushrooms

Again I went to the fridge to find inspiration of what to make and post on my blog.  I saw this big container of mushrooms just asking to be used. 

So I thought “How about stuffed mushrooms?”  I love mushroom and I really like stuffed mushrooms.  These mushrooms are very simple but so delicious!

Stuffed Mushrooms

½ medium onion, chopped fine

1 stalk celery, chopped fine

1 Tablespoon Earth Balance margarine

8-10 mushrooms

Salt

Pepper

Thyme

1-2 slices of bread (or ¼ cup of bread crumbs)

Sauté the onions and celery in a skillet with the Earth Balance.  Trim and take the stems out of the mushrooms and chop fine.  Put these pieces of the mushroom stems in with the onion and celery mixture.  Cook over medium heat until vegetables are soft about 10 to 15 minutes.  Stir often.

Sprinkle a few shakes of salt, pepper and ground thyme into vegetable mixture.  Add about ¼ of water or less.  Finely break up the bread into tiny pieces and add to the vegetable mixture.  Stir to combine.

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel.  Fill each mushroom cap with about a teaspoon of the vegetable mixture.  Place in a greased baking dish.  Bake covered at 350 degrees for 15 minutes; take off cover and continue to cook 5 minutes.

Note: You could also add a few shakes of nutritional yeast to add a cheesy flavor to these yummy delights.
