Stuffed Mushrooms

Although it is impossible to detect it in the dish once it is cooked, the coffee in this dish adds something to it that makes it a delicious appetizer.

Ingredients:
6 big flat mushrooms
55 gr. of butter
1 medium sized onion, peeled and chopped
2 garlic cloves
140 gr. of fresh whole wheat bread crumbs
225 gr. of ham
2 tablespoons of thyme or dry rosemary
3 tablespoons of strong black coffee
Salt and pepper

Preparation:
Take off the mushroom stocks and then place the mushrooms in a fine layer one by one, with the top part upwards in a buttered pan. Chop the stocks.

Melt half of the butter in a small pot and slowly fry the onion, the garlic and the mushroom stocks until the onions are soft. Take this off of the heat and then place this mixture in a deep platter and then add in the rest of the ingredients, except for the left over butter. Mix everything up well. Divide the filling into six parts and it over each of the mushrooms. Crown each one with a little butter. If you want to prepare the mushrooms later on, you can leave the mushrooms sitting when you get to this point.

Roast them in the oven at moderate heat, 180 degrees Celsius for 40 minutes. Serve them hot.

Serves 6 people.
