See all
1 tbsp olive oil, for brushing caps
¼ tsp salt

For the filling

1 lb ground pork
Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground pork and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
1 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup mushroom stems, finely chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
½ tsp dried thyme
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
½ tsp salt

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wipe the mushroom caps clean with a damp paper towel, then brush the outside of each cap with the 1 tbsp olive oil and season lightly with the 1/4 tsp salt. Arrange them cavity-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and the pan looks nearly dry, about 4–5 minutes.
