CLASSIC SMOKED STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Wipe any dirt off of the mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and cut the very bottoms of them off and discard. Cut the remaining stems into small pieces.
• Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of EVOO. Add the shallots and stem pieces and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until the shallots have wilted. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant. Set aside to cool.
• Preheat your smoker to 250°F with the vent open. Fill the water bowl 1/2 way. Place the wood chips in the tray.
• In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cheese, and parsley. Stir in the mushroom stems, shallots, garlic, salt, pepper, and 4 tablespoons of EVOO.
• Place the mushroom caps on the sheet pan. Fill each mushroom with a heaping spoonful of the stuffing mixture. Drizzle the last tablespoon of EVOO over the top of the stuffing.
• Put the pan into the smoker. Smoke the mushrooms for approximately 45 minutes. Check to see that the mushrooms are softened and cooked through. Continue to smoke if necessary.
• Serve the mushrooms warm.
