During the mushroom-picking season, mushrooms might be somewhat overlooked. However, they make a comeback when guests are expected, a family gathering is being organized, or a party with friends is on the horizon. These humble mushrooms then transform into delicious stuffed snacks. They are so tasty that it's hard to resist when they grace the table.

Stuffed mushrooms - a simple snack recipe

Mushrooms are often stuffed with ground meat, but this recipe is quicker, simpler, and more affordable. Adults will dig in right away, and children may also be tempted. Wild mushrooms should not be consumed before age 12, but cultivated mushrooms can be included in the diet earlier.

  3. Heat oil in a pan and sauté the onion with the garlic.
  4. Add the chopped mushroom stems, breadcrumbs, and spices, and mix well.
