Baked Giant Mushrooms

Now this is on of my great inventions and I really feel proud of it. During my stay in Dubai, I happened to come across some great giant to medium sized mushrooms at a grocery store. I immediately thought of this recipe and proficiently accomplished the task! Now I have to share this with you because I really need you to try this. Its great for people on a diet. Enjoy!




Ingredients

Giant Mushrooms  -  5 ( white or brown)
Butter  -  2 oz
Olive oil  -  1 tsp
Milk  -  1/2 cup
Chicken Sausages or Chicken Tikka Chunks  -  1/3 cup (finely diced)
Flour  -  2 tblsp (leveled)
Pepper  - 1 tsp (leveled)
Salt  -  1/4 tsp or according to taste
Parsley -  2 tblsp chopped
sweet corn  - 1 tblsp (cooked)
Oyster sauce  -  1 tsp
Mozzarella cheese  -  grated for topping
Hummus  -  for topping

Method:

1.      Take each mushroom and gently remove its stalk and scoop out the inside with a teaspoon to make a cavity for filling. Preheat the oven at 180 degrees C with only the top grill on.
2.      In a saucepan melt butter with olive oil and add the chicken sausages or the tikka chunks along with sweet corn. Saute a little. 
3.      Now add in the pepper and salt, then flour. Keep mixing and then take it off flame to add milk. Mix well till no lumps are formed and the mixture thickens. Now add oyster sauce and put back on the flame and mix.
4.      In the end add the chopped parsley.
5.      Now let the mixture cool, after which add about a tablespoon full (or as required)  of it in the cavity of each mushroom till its completely filled to the top. Cover the top with grated mozzarella cheese.
6.     Place on a baking tray or in an oven proof dish and bake for 15 minutes at the preheated temperature or till the cheese melts and forms a golden covering. When serving, add a spoon of homos on each mushroom and sprinkle with a dash of parsley. Enjoy!
