Caramelized Onion Stuffed Mushrooms Recipes

CARAMELIZED ONION STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Peel the onions and slice them in half from root to stem. Notch out the root and slice the onions into 1/4" slices. When slicing, slice in the direction from root to stem.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter then add onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. You may need to lower heat if onions are browning too quickly. After onions are lightly browned and a fond develops on the bottom of the pan, reduce heat to low and continue cooking for another 10 minutes. The fond is the brown coating on the bottom of the pan from the sugar drawn out from the onions.
• Add balsamic vinegar to deglaze pan, scraping up the fond as it loosens.
• Cook the mixture for another 3 - 5 minutes, scraping and deglazing skillet. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place the mushrooms bottom side up in a baking dish and drizzle with the olive oil.
• Stuff the cavity of each mushroom with the caramelized onions, then sprinkle tops with cheese.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

FRENCH ONION SOUP STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the stems from 24 large cremini mushrooms.
• Wipe the caps clean with a damp paper towel, then toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt. Arrange on a baking sheet.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 thinly sliced onions and 2 teaspoons chopped thyme; season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the onions are caramelized, about 20 minutes. Add 1/4 cup red wine; cook until evaporated, 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup beef broth; simmer until the onions are glazed, 3 minutes. Sprinkle breadcrumbs inside the mushroom caps; fill with the onion mixture, then sprinkle with 1 cup shredded gruyere and 2 tablespoons grated parmesan.
• Bake until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then remove from the baking sheet. Top with parsley.

CARAMELIZED ONION AND MUSHROOM STUFFING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Spread bread cubes in single layer on a large baking sheet.
• Bake, stirring occasionally about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
• Transfer to a large bowl.
• In a large, heavy frying pan, melt the butter over medium high heat.
• When hot, add onions and cook, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
• About 20 minute.
• Reduce heat to medium and add the mushrooms and celery.
• Cook and stir until tender, about 8 minutes.
• Add this mixture to the bread cubes along with the parsley and tarragon.
• Add the stock to the pan you used to cook the onions, and bring to a boil scraping up any browned pieces.
• Add hot stock to the bread mixture and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Mix in the eggs.
• Either stuff the turkey and bake as usual or butter a 13X9 pan and spoon stuffing into pan.
• Cover with foil and bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes.
• Uncover and bake until top is golden brown, about 30 minutes longer.
• I think this is better baked in a pan by itself than stuffed into the turkey-- but to each his own!
