What's Cookin? sea pigeon edition?

I love stuffed mushrooms. I believe I asked last year, but what do You stuff them with. I like snails, garlic, and cheese.

 

Sounds delicious. What part of Florida, or there about???

 

I'm having winning Crappie. I have enough in the freezer now to last until the SB win. LoL

 

The stuffing is a mix of the mushroom stems, bread crumbs, olive oil, salt, pepper, parmesan, and either prosciutto or bacon crumbles.

 

Sounds delicious

 

Due to ocean temperature rises king and snow crab are dying off rapidly this has driven the cost of other forms of crab up

And some people still deny global warming

 

Ain’t not no way I would adapter crab meat with stove top

I’m a purist

Same with beer

 

You are not the first to utter thoughts like that. We got bombarded with ideas so we said simplest one we see first we give a try. Pretty sure they won't be tasting like the 30-40 dollar restaurant ones.

 

I haven't been there since before Covid and wow the prices have skyrocketed or maybe I never looked and just picked up the tab for me and my sisters back then (lost one since) - you know, biz write off. Some tasty looking morsels on their menu. I'll let my sister know and she can meet you there - she loves being spoiled.

Now that I'm home, I pulled up the recipe. I got this from a nostalgia website that I visit sometimes. Here's the recipe:


Stuffed Mushrooms

You'll need: Mushrooms, breadcrumbs, olive oil, salt, pepper, (fresh) parsley, garlic, grated Parmesan cheese and bacon. (Bacon is optional; you could leave it out or substitute with prosciutto.)

- Wash mushrooms, separate stems from caps. Set caps aside.
- Finely chop around 75% of the stems, or better yet, throw 'em in a food processor.
- Put chopped stems in a bowl, set aside.
- Finely chop a small handful of parsley (SMALL!), and throw in the bowl with the stems.
- Add a ton of breadcrumbs to that same bowl. Any kind. About an equivalent amount to the chopped stems.
- Add a bunch of the grated Parmesan cheese to the same bowl.
- Now DROWN that bowl with olive oil and salt, and then add some black pepper.
- Stir like crazy. It should have a consistency somewhat akin to wet sand. You may also do a taste test at this point. Basically, what's in the bowl should already taste so good, you'd have no problem eating it "raw."
- Spoon a bit of the mix into the empty mushroom caps. When I say "a bit" I actually mean "a lot." Pretend the caps are ice cream cones.
- Sprinkle a bit of finely chopped bacon over the now-filled mushrooms, or if you want to keep them vegetarian, don't.
- Sprinkle more grated Parmesan cheese all over them.
- Drizzle MORE olive oil on them, and salt them one last time.

Whew.

Okay, then you...

- Pop 'em in an oven that's been preheated to 350 for 30-35 minutes. Maybe less or more depending on the amount of mushrooms you're making. They are very hard to overcook so don't be too concerned.

 

The styrofoam boxes that keep the crab legs cold is what put the hole in the ozone layer.

 

Love it

But
DO NOT WASH MUSHROOMS!

 

Mushroom brush, duh.

 

I don't wash them in running water, rather I wipe the dirt off with a slightly wet paper towel.

 

You had me at shrimp and butter

 

Absolutely

Never under running water

They are sponges

 

I found a wife works well but she keeps wanting to put them under water I keep telling her no and she keeps telling me to shove them where they won’t exactly get clean

She has a loose definition of “can I help”

 

I bought a pile of King crab to cook today watching Penn State but both my wife and I have a bug

This may be presented again under the Dirty Birds edition next week

 

I thought that was Whoopi and her herd of flatulating cows that did that?

 

Still at the beach. Maybe King Crab legs.

 

I plan to have some corn. Distilled with some rye and barley then aged for around 10-12 years in oak barrels.

 

I do remember that. I think most people stuff them with crabmeat.

 

Thanks Rachael Ray We learned that on a Rachael Ray show and my wife just can't bring herself to do that. She still washes under water. Matters not to me I don't like that little fungi and when we visit her brother the stink in the area is disgusting. He lives around mushroom dark rooms.
