Note: These mushrooms will not get you high if you eat them (and don't try to smoke them, you'll just mess yourself up). I take no responsibility for anyone's disappointment if they try and fail to use this recipe to create illicit narcotics.
Ingredients (to serve one person):
6-8 Small cup mushrooms
30-40 grams Cracked pepper cheese
1/6 Red capsicum (chopped into roughly 1cm long strips)
1 teaspoon Butter
Garlic paste
Preparation/Cooking Instructions:
1. Lay a sheet of aluminium foil on a baking tray and fold up the sides, forming a foil 'box'.
2. Pull the stalks out of the mushrooms, leaving the cup intact. Put the mushrooms hollow-side up on the baking tray and lay the mushroom stalks around them.
3. Slice off small wedges of cracked pepper cheese and stuff one into each of the mushrooms. Then take pieces of capsicum and poke two or three into the cheese in each mushroom. Any spare capsicum can be sprinkled over the mushroom stalks.
4. Take teaspoon of butter and mix with garlic paste (I used a ratio of about 2 parts butter, 1 part garlic paste, but you can use more or less, depending on how strong you want it). Microwave it for 30 seconds or so until melted, then drizzle it over the mushrooms and the stalks.
5. Preheat an oven to 180 degrees Celsius, and then bake the mushrooms for 15-18 minutes.
6.Serve on a small plate and eat immediately
Alternative extras:
-Fill the mushroom cups with spinach before stuffing them with cheese
-Sprinkle chopped chives or parsley over the mushrooms once they are cooked
-Use different varieties of cheese
-Add slivers of tomato
-Just for fun, stick one of those rainbow toothpick umbrellas in the middle of each mushroom before serving :D
