Champinones Rellenos "Stuffed Mushrooms"
Champinones rellenos are wonderful bite-sized stuffed mushrooms. These make great tapas or appetizers for your next dinner party with friends. As with most Spanish recipes that have fillings, there are many variations. I kind of winged my filling with Spinach, cheese, and herbs. My wife really loved these and we will definitely be making them again. They are really easy, so I hope to you take the time to try them as well! Enjoy!  
Serves: 3-4 tapas portionsPreparation time: about 25 minutes INGREDIENTS 15-20 white mushrooms 1/2 cup cooked spinach (can be frozen or fresh) 1 clove garlic finely chopped 1 small onion finely chopped 3 TB bread dried bread crumps 5-6 TB freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1 TB finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 2 TB olive oil salt and pepper to taste DIRECTIONS Heat the oven to 375º F. Heat about 1 TB of the oil in a small pan. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the onion is soft. In your food processor, add everything except the mushrooms and process to a thick paste. Wash the mushrooms and remove the stalk. Then take a small spoon and remove the central part of the mushroom. Fill each mushroom with the filling and then top with a little more cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese turns golden brown.  Return from Champinones Rellenos Recipe to Home
