• 2 cloves minced garlic

How to Make Beef Stuffed Mushrooms

1. Soak 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms in 1 cup warm water for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
3. Drain the softened porcini mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid. Roughly chop the mushrooms.
4. In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, the chopped porcini mushrooms, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
5. Gently remove the stems from 1 pound large field mushrooms. Fill each mushroom cap with the beef mixture, mounding it slightly. Place the stuffed mushrooms in a baking dish.
6. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the mushrooms.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is browned.
8. While the mushrooms bake, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the reserved porcini soaking liquid (1 cup), 1/4 cup dry red wine, and any pan drippings from the baking dish. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce has reduced by half (about 10-15 minutes).
9. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and spoon the reduced sauce over them.
10. Serve immediately with a fresh salad of your choice.
