Dehydrator Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms Recipes

PESTO STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove and discard mushroom stems.
• Place mushrooms, stem-side up, on a foil-lined baking sheet. Set aside.

• Bake the filled caps until heated through and lightly browned, 18 to 22 minutes. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs, if desired.

PESTO-STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• 1) Prepare the pesto sauce by mincing all ingredients in a food processor 2) Remove the gills (i.e. black insides) from mushrooms. This step is very important, as it keeps the mushrooms from getting soggy 3) Mix breadcrumbs and pesto sauce 4) Spoon pesto mixture into each mushroom cap 5) Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper 6) Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400F FYI: - Steps 1-2 can be done in advance - These reheat very well - I will sometimes bake with campari tomatoes (on the vine) to add colour - I initially only made these with portobellos, but I find that the white mushrooms for stuffing are just as good and they are smaller and less expensive - These can be made dairy with parmesan

CHEESE AND PESTO-STUFFED MUSHROOMS

• Arrange the caps on a cookie sheet.
• Sprinkle the mushrooms with the reserved parmesan cheese.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and brownish.

CHICKPEA PESTO-STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Toast pine nuts in dry skillet until aromatic and lightly colored. Be careful not to overcook.
• Combine pine nuts and chickpeas in food processor and grind. Add herbs and garlic and purée to a thick paste. Add chickpea liquid and process until blended. Add oil and process until incorporated.
• Add salt and mix. Sprinkle with cheese if desired.
• Remove mushroom stems and reserve for another use; clean mushroom caps. Fill caps with a tablespoonful (use a teaspoon for small mushrooms) of pesto.

PESTO STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place all ingredients EXCEPT the mushroom caps into a food processor. Pulse until the pesto is combined, but still a bit chunky.
• Place a teaspoon or two of mixture into each mushroom cap. Bake for 15 minutes. I bake them on a rack in a baking pan because there is a surprising amount of liquid in a mushroom. I find they sort of stew if you bake them flat on a baking sheet.
• Either serve immediately or allow to cool to room temperature - they are delicious either way.
