Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe By: Donna
24 large mushrooms -- white
1/4 cup chopped shallots -- or onion
2 cloves garlic -- chopped
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/4 cup water
10 ounces chopped spinach -- thawed and drained
*Shrimp or crab.

Wash mushrooms and carefully remove stems. Lay out caps on nonstick jelly-roll pan and pop in oven for 5-10 minutes to dry out and cook slightly. Set caps aside. Chop the mushroom stems finely. Sauté shallots, garlic, and balsamic vinegar in small saucepan. When onions start to turn translucent add mushroom stems, water, and seasoning. Cook a few minutes. Add spinach and cook till water is almost all evaporated. Mound the spinach mixture onto the mushroom caps, pressing it into the caps. Lower oven heat to 300-350º and bake for 10-15 minutes until hot and mushroom caps are cooked.

Susan just saute the shrimp or crab with shallots, garlic and onion. You can also use any vinegar other than balsamic. I hope you enjoy them.

Baked Eggplant w/ Mushroom Tomato Sauce (Cooking Light, Nov 2000)

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
2 cloves garlic minced
8 oz mushrooms sliced

Heat a large nonstick skillet with a bit of NSA chicken or beef broth for sauteing over medium heat; add onions and garlic. Saute for a few minutes and then add mushrooms. Saute for a few minutes more until vegetables are tender and broth is gone. Stir in Italian seasoning.
