Stuffed Mushrooms

• 2 1/4 pounds large mushrooms
• 1-2 tablespoons butter
• 1 handful fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh white bread crumbs
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• fresh herb sprigs to garnish

Wipe the mushrooms clean. Remove stalks and chop fine. Melt butter in a saucepan; add the chopped mushroom stalks and cook, stirring frequently over high heat for 5-10 minutes or until all the liquid has evaporated. Remove the pan from heat. Add the parsley, bread crumbs, garlic, salt and pepper and mix well.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spoon the mixture into the mushrooms, dividing it evenly. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a lightly greased baking sheet. Drizzle the oil over the  mushrooms. Bake for about 10  minutes or until cooked. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs and serve.
