Stuffed champignon mushrooms with vegetables and telemea cheese are prepared without complicated steps. The mushroom stems are not discarded; instead, they are included in the filling along with green onions and peppers. The vegetables are sautéed in butter, then mixed with grated telemea and parsley. The stuffed mushrooms are baked for about 30 minutes on low heat and served warm. Quick Info Total time: not specified in the original recipe; the steps with indicated times sum up to approximately 45 minutes, excluding washing and chopping time Preparation time: unspecified Cooking time: approximately 15 minutes for sautéing the vegetables and 30 minutes for baking Servings: unspecified Difficulty: easy Recipe type: warm appetizer or dish with mushrooms, vegetables, and telemea Ingredients 500 g champignon mushrooms 1/2 red bell pepper 1/2 yellow bell pepper 3 green onions 1/2 bunch of fresh parsley 150 g cow telemea cheese 4 teaspoons of butter, of which 2 tablespoons are used for sautéing the vegetables, and the rest for greasing the tray and the mushrooms Salt Pepper Preparation method 1. Wash the mushrooms and let them drain. Once drained, detach or cut off the stems and keep them for the filling. The caps will be filled and placed in the oven. 2. Finely chop the green onions, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and the mushroom stems. It is important that the pieces are small so that the filling can be easily placed into the mushroom caps. 3. Place the chopped vegetables in a pan or a suitable pot for sautéing, along with 2 tablespoons of butter. Cover the pot and let the vegetables cook on low heat for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. 4. Meanwhile, grate the cow telemea cheese using a coarse grater. If the telemea is already quite salty, hold off on adding salt until the end and only add if necessary. 5. Season the mushroom caps with a little salt and pepper. Grease the tray with a bit of butter and arrange the mushrooms in it. 6. Once the vegetables are sautéed, remove the pot from the heat. Add the chopped parsley and mix. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then incorporate the grated telemea. 7. Taste the filling and add salt only if necessary. Adjust with pepper as well. 8. Fill each mushroom with the vegetable and telemea mixture. Place them in the prepared tray, being careful not to overstuff each cap. 9. Place the tray in the oven and bake the mushrooms on low heat for about 30 minutes. This is the time indicated in the recipe, and the mushrooms are served warm. Why I make this recipe often I love this recipe because it uses the mushroom stems, not just the caps. The filling comes together quickly, and the combination of sautéed vegetables, butter, and telemea is substantial enough for a warm appetizer or a light meal. It’s also a practical recipe when I have champignon mushrooms and a few vegetables on hand. There’s no need for a separate filling with many ingredients: the chopped stems, green onions, and peppers form the base, and the telemea binds them together after the vegetables are removed from the heat. Tips Wash the mushrooms before filling them and allow them to drain well. In the recipe, the caps are seasoned separately before being placed in the tray, and the filling is adjusted for salt and pepper afterward. This order helps control the flavor, especially when the telemea is salty. Chop the vegetables and mushroom stems as finely as possible. The filling will be easier to place in the caps and will not fall out as easily during arrangement in the tray. After sautéing the vegetables, do not add the telemea immediately to a very hot mixture. Allow the composition to cool slightly, then mix it with the grated cheese. This is the recommended step in the recipe and helps achieve a homogeneous filling. Add salt carefully. Both the mushrooms and the vegetables receive salt, and the telemea may already add enough salt to the mixture. It is safest to taste the filling before placing it in the mushrooms. Substitutions The recipe uses cow telemea, which is the cheese specified in the original ingredients. If a substitution is needed, another telemea with a similar taste and texture can be used, but the salt content may vary. In this case, the salt in the filling should be checked to taste. For butter, no other fat is indicated in the original recipe. If changed, the final taste will not be exactly the same, as butter is used both for sautéing the vegetables and for greasing the tray and mushrooms. Variations The recipe can be made in the same way, keeping the base of mushrooms, peppers, green onions, parsley, telemea, and butter. The simplest variation is to change the proportion between the peppers and onions without modifying the other steps. You can leave the mushroom caps more or less filled, depending on their size. The amount of filling produced depends on how large the mushrooms are and how finely the vegetables are chopped, so it is more practical to divide it directly among the caps rather than trying to establish the same amount for each. If the mushrooms are different sizes, arrange them in the tray so that the filling stays as much as possible inside. Smaller ones will need less filling, while larger ones will require more. Serving Ideas Stuffed mushrooms are served warm, as indicated in the original recipe. They can be placed on a platter and served as a warm appetizer or can accompany a simple meal. The parsley in the filling adds freshness, while the telemea provides substance. For serving, no additional garnish is needed; the mushrooms are already seasoned and filled with vegetables and cheese. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Should I throw away the mushroom stems? No. The stems are kept, finely chopped, and sautéed along with the green onions and peppers. They are part of the mushroom filling. 2. How long do the vegetables cook before being filled? The vegetables are sautéed for about 15 minutes, covered, with 2 tablespoons of butter. After this step, parsley is added, and the mixture is allowed to cool slightly before being mixed with the telemea. 3. When is the telemea added? The telemea is grated and added after the vegetable filling has been removed from the heat and cooled slightly. It is then mixed with salt if needed and pepper. 4. Can I prepare the mushrooms without seasoning them separately? In the original recipe, the caps are seasoned with a little salt and pepper before being placed in the greased tray. This step is separate from seasoning the filling and should be maintained. 5. How are the stuffed champignon mushrooms served? They are served warm, directly after baking. Nutritional Values The values below are estimates for the entire dish, as the recipe does not specify the number of servings and does not indicate the brands of ingredients. For the entire recipe: approximately 750-850 kcal Protein: approximately 45-55 g Fat: approximately 55-65 g Carbohydrates: approximately 25-35 g Mushrooms and vegetables contribute few calories and provide most of the carbohydrates and fiber in the recipe. The telemea ensures most of the protein and fat, while the butter increases the dish's energy value. The amount of salt may vary depending on how salty the telemea is and how much is added later to the filling and on the mushrooms. Storage and Reheating The mushrooms are best served warm, right after baking. If there are leftovers, they can be stored in the refrigerator in a covered container, but the original recipe does not specify a storage time. For reheating, warm them until they are hot again inside. Avoid leaving them too long, as the mushrooms may become softer, and the telemea in the filling may change texture. It is best to prepare only the amount that will be served.
