    So, Autumn is here, and we just arrived at our new home in Lombardy, Northern Italy. Autumn comes with various mushrooms and a beautiful foraging culture. So, let's make the best with this Herbs Stuffed Mushrooms recipe!

    Northern Italy comes with a local delicacy: Taleggio cheese. The Taleggio melts beautifully as a young mozzarella and has the intense flavor of aged cheese. I usually make this recipe with portobello mushrooms. However, today I found a mushroom variety that I had never tried: Pioppini (piopino mushroom), so I decided to give it a try.

      Add a ¼ of the chopped herbs mix.

      Place in the oven from 10 to 15 mins, until they are soft but don’t let them lose their shape.

    11. Serve

      Transfer to the serving plates and serve with a fresh green salad; I like arugula and cherry tomatoes.Herbs Stuffed Mushrooms

    🍄 What mushrooms to use

    Feel free to use Portobellos as they work wonderfully and play with any soft and melty cheese. They work; I have tried brie and camembert when living in Mexico City, and they worked perfectly.

    The key to making this recipe is to use a variety that you can "stuff" either because they are big, like the Portobellos, or because they come in many, like the Pioppino Mushrooms I use here. Serve this dish with our vegan mashed potatoes.

    🧐 Health benefits of mushrooms

    There’s no way to go wrong with mushrooms. They’re fat-free, low-sodium, low-calorie, and cholesterol-free. They’re also packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

    Mushrooms are a good source of antioxidants and all the Complex B vitamins, meaning they protect heart health, are good for the digestive system, maintain healthy skin, are good for the nervous system, and help the body make the hormones it needs.

      This being oil free was a plus as I am trying to cut back on them. The herb stuffed mushrooms were so flavorful and filling.

        Hola Taly! Claro que si, cualquier tipo de hongos sirven para esta receta. Por lo general los frescos tienen más sabor, sin embargo los disecados tienen un sabor mas concentrado y sirven igual una vez que los hidratas.

        Si bien no hemos probado a hacerlos, creo que no habría problemas siguiendo las recomendaciones de descongelado sugeridas en el paquete. Si son congelados de manera natural, es decir champiñones frescos congelados, seguramente se verán bastante marchitos.
