Notes
This stuffed mushrooms recipe is for 5 people - 2 large mushrooms per person.
If you are making vegetarian stuffed mushrooms, add 2 cloves of garlic to your filling, if you like, for extra flavour.
There are lots of variations of stuffed mushrooms. If you like seafood, try crab stuffed mushrooms or prawns. We play around with lots of different fillings.
As with all of our recipes, the nutritional information is just a general guide to give you a rough idea - this will vary depending on the brand of sucuk (or other sausage you use) and the type of cheese you use.
If you don't want to cook your stuffed mushrooms on the barbecue, you can oven bake them (200 degrees Celsius - 400 Fahrenheit) for 15-20 minutes or do the same in a griddle pan on a medium heat.
You don't need to stick rigidly to the amounts in the recipe. These, too, are meant as a guide.
