Stuffed Mushrooms
- Two 10-ounce packages large white stuffing mushrooms (about 24 mushrooms)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions (about 4)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
- 6 tablespoons grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the stems from the mushrooms (set the caps aside), and finely chop them.
- Put the stems in a large bowl, and add the scallions, bell pepper, bread crumbs, 3 tablespoons of the grated cheese, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, and half the salt.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, to moisten all of the crumbs and make a fairly tight stuffing.
- Combine the white wine and 1/2 cup hot water in a small bowl, and season with the remaining salt.
- Spread the butter all around the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch Pyrex baking dish.
- Fill the mushroom caps with the stuffing, and fit them in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the mushrooms, and drizzle on the remaining olive oil.
- Pour the wine and water around the mushrooms in the baking dish.
- Bake until the mushrooms are crisp on top but tender and the juices are bubbling underneath, about 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size.
- If there is too much juice left in the baking dish, pour it into a small pan and reduce to thicken.
- Otherwise, stir the remaining parsley into the pan and serve sauce with the mushrooms.
