Stuffed Mushrooms with Sausage

• 1/4 cup raisins
• 8 large Spanish green olives, pitted
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• 2 handfuls fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 pound Italian sausage, removed from casing
• 3/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
• Extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Pinch red pepper flakes
• 1 cup fresh bread crumbs, dried out
• 24 large white mushrooms, stems removed

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. To make the stuffing, put the raisins, olives, pine nuts, parsley, and garlic on a cutting board and chop, and put into a mixing bowl.
3. Add the sausage and 1/2 cup of the cheese.
4. Drizzle the stuffing with about 1/4 cup of olive oil to moisten and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes; mix well with your hands to combine.
5. Put the bread crumbs in another bowl, drizzle with a bit of olive oil and add 1/4 cup of the Pecorino; season with salt and pepper.
6. Oil the bottom and sides of a casserole dish which is large enough to hold all the mushrooms in a single layer.
7. Arrange the mushrooms snugly in the pan, cap side down; season the insides with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
8. Stuff each mushroom with a generous spoonful of the sausage stuffing and sprinkle the bread crumbs on top; drizzle with even more oil.
9. Bake for 20 minutes until the stuffing is browned and the mushrooms soft, rotating the dish periodically for even cooking.
