Ours are going to be cooked whole in a little melted butter & being served with Fillet steak, baked tomatoes fried onions & chips.

	Errol - Tried various ways of cooking them but I prefer to stuff them. GP

Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 7,476 Send Message	yes I think they should always get stuffed. Question is, what filling?

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 3,361 Send Message	Are yours the big horse mushrooms? Stuffed with crispy bacon, bread crumbs, crumbled goats cheese. Served with a rocket salad.
Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 7,476 Send Message	ErrolSheep	Report	9 Mar 2013 16:13
Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 7,476 Send Message	massive And the rocket is a great idea - adds a little something.

	Large ones I fry in butter then fill them with soft garlic and herb cheese together with crispy streaky bacon on a bed of mixed salad leaves. GP

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 3,361 Send Message	Ok lose the rocket :-D :-D When we were children, we used to go out early on Sunday mornings to pick them, on the Rother Marshes. Mum would cook them in the oven with the bacon

	Nothing spoils a flat mushroom than stuffing it,,,,,,it masks the natural flavour,,,,, clean, brush with a little oil &grill or bake in over for 10-15 mins,,,,.......serve with hot buttered toast,,,,,,,,,gorgus.....

Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 7,476 Send Message	Should it just be left as god intended then? Sort of laid bare for all to see and admire? I used to do them with soft cheese and chilli but I suppose that masked the delicacy
