Generously stuffed large white mushrooms filled with a savoury blend of ground pork, melted Louis d'Or cheese, and our Forest Blend dried mushrooms — a comforting recipe that showcases the deep umami richness of our wild mushrooms.
Ingredients
12 large white mushrooms (portobello, cremini or button)
450 g ground pork
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
150 g cheese (Louis d'or or Pied de Vent), grated
10 g dried Forest Blend mushrooms
1 cup of tomato sauce or tomato coulis
Herbs: fresh rosemary and ground fennel seeds
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Remove the stems from the mushrooms and carefully hollow out the inside of each cap using a small spoon to create a generous cavity. Set the scooped flesh aside.
Rehydrate the Forest Blend dried mushrooms in warm water for 15 minutes. Drain and roughly chop.
In a blender or food processor, combine the reserved mushroom flesh, herbs, breadcrumbs, egg, half the grated Louis d'Or, 2-3 tbsp of tomato sauce and the rehydrated mushrooms. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper. In a bowl combine with the pork with your hands.
Generously fill each mushroom cap with the stuffing mixture. Top with the remaining grated cheese and a sprinkle of breadcrumbs.
Pour a thin layer of tomato sauce into the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in the dish. If you have leftover meat mixture, roll it into small meatballs and nestle them into the sauce alongside the mushrooms — they’ll cook perfectly and soak up all the flavour.
Bake for 45 minutes, until the filling is cooked through and the tops are golden. For a more pronounced gratin finish, broil for 2 to 3 minutes at the end.
