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 of 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.

🧾 Ingredients

- Mushrooms: The pioppino mushrooms are used as the base ingredient for the recipe and provide a meaty texture and earthy flavor to the dish.
- Taleggio or brie cheese: The creamy, tangy flavor of Taleggio or brie cheese is used to add richness and depth to the dish, and also helps bind the stuffing together.
- Dried tomatoes: are added to the stuffing to provide a burst of sweet and tangy flavor, and also add texture to the dish.
- Pecorino Romano cheese: The sharp, salty flavor of Pecorino Romano cheese is used to provide a savory kick to the stuffing.
- Celery: The crisp, fresh flavor of celery is used to add a slight crunch to the stuffing and also provides a hint of vegetal flavor.
- Spring onions are used to add a mild onion flavor to the stuffing and also provide a pop of color.
- Shallot: The sweet, mild flavor of shallots is used to add depth to the stuffing and provide a more subtle onion flavor than regular onions.
- Onion: The pungent, sweet flavor of onions is used to provide a strong onion flavor to the stuffing and also add moisture.
- Garlic: The strong, pungent flavor of garlic is used to provide a savory, aromatic flavor to the stuffing.
- Herbs: The herbs are used to add a fresh, aromatic flavor to the stuffing and also provide a pop of color.
- Basil: The sweet, aromatic flavor of basil is used to provide a fresh and bright flavor to the stuffing.
- Sage: The earthy, savory flavor of sage is used to provide a deep, complex flavor to the stuffing.
- Rosemary: The fragrant, piney flavor of rosemary is used to provide a bold, herbaceous flavor to the stuffing

🍄 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.

Wish I could find these cute little mushrooms you used but crimini worked just as well and this was an incredibly delicious dish!

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.

Taly says
Hola!!
Me gustaría saber si puedo usar champignones congelados para hacer esta receta.
Gracias!
Gus says
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.
Gus says
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.
