How to make delicious stuffed mushrooms

Grab all supplies needed for the day and set up your station.

Ingredients you will need, pre measure them.

Fill a bowl with COLD water for cleaning your mushrooms.

Drop the mushrooms in the COLD water. Do not let them sit in the water. Mushroom are porous vegetables which means they will soak up the water. If they soak up too much water they will become soggy.

With your hands quickly rub the mushrooms to get all the dirt off.

Once they are clean drop the mushrooms on to a few paper towels and dry them off.

Next, you will remove the stem from the mushroom,leaving a deep carved out center. Take a spoon and use the spoon to go around the stem.

Once you have gone around the stem with the spoon use your hands to take out the stem. Use your spoon to carve out a little of the bottom of the mushroom to give you more space for the filling.

Put the mushroom tops off to the side and all the stems on a cutting board.

Finely mince the stems, using the proper techniques.
