Ingredients
- 6-8 medium brown mushrooms depending on their size
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 shallot
- ⅓ cup ground almonds
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- ¼ cup butter room temperature
- a little lemon juice
- fine sea salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius/ 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly brush a casserole form with some oil.
- Chop: Remove the mushroom stems and chop them very finely. Chop the shallot very finely as well.
- Cook vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan and cook the shallot for about 2-3 minutes or until soft. Add the chopped mushroom stems and continue cooking for further 2 minutes or until the stems are soft.
- Filling: Place the almonds, the roughly chopped garlic cloves, herbs, and cubed butter in a food processor. Process shortly to obtain a slightly rough paste. Add a little lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake: Fill the mushroom caps and place them in the prepared casserole dish. Bake for about 10 – 15 minutes until they are soft and the butter is melted.
- Serve immediately with baguette and salad, for instance.
