Stuffed Mushrooms
Mushrooms have remained to be one of my favourite veggies for a long time. Some of my best childhood memories are going out into the beautiful pine forests of Kodaikanal and looking under the fallen pine leaves for fresh mushrooms. Those were the tasty portobello kind that were found there.
But for stuffing, the white button mushrooms are the best kind that could be used. Select the biggest mushrooms that you can get.
Stuffed mushrooms are a good appetizer and your guests will love it.
