Start with mushrooms (I find that mini-portabellos work much better than white mushrooms). Break off the stems and mince. Mince one onion and two cloves garlic. Sautee with olive oil until soft. Throw in some fresh herbs (sage, parsley, basil, tarragon all work just fine..maybe 1 T). Remove from heat. Put a piece of bread in the food processor until finely crumbed. (Is that a word?) Mix it all together with some salt and pepper and about 1/4 c finely grated parmesian cheese. Using spoons or your hands, fill up the mushrooms with as much stuffing as possible. Place mushrooms on a cookie sheet in a preheated 350-375 degree oven. Bake about 15 minutes or until tops are golden brown and mushrooms are tender (but not mushy.) These suckers are best hot (with salad and new potatoes in rosemary butter in this photo), but they also make great party food (hot or cold.) Plus, they retain their shape well to reheat the next day for lunch.
Not too dry, not too fruity, not too oaky. This chardonnay leaned more toward the buttery edge of the spectrum (without being buttery) with a fuller body.
