Easy Cooking Stuffed Mushrooms with Sausage

This easy cooking for men Stuffed Mushrooms with Sausage recipe is another favourite of mine and is very easy to prepare and make. Stuffed full of vegetables its great for the kids and if you remove the sausage its a great vegetarian meal full of protein.

Ingredients:

• Large mushrooms (usually about 2 per person)
• Sausage (your favourite sausage - i usually use a Spanish Chorizo, but you could use Italian Sausage, Peperoni, Proscuito, any other spiced meats, or if not readily available you can even use bacon).
• Green Capsicum
• Brown Onion
• Soft cheese (I use Bocancini because i usually have it available and use it regularly in my Easy Cooking Bruschetta Recipe)
• Grated mozzarella or pizza cheese
• Lemon
• Potato
• Salsa mix (premade dip is easy)
• Mixed herbs
• Salt and pepper to taste (optional)
• Sour creame or Guacamole (or both)
  

Method:

• Peel and boil the potatoes.
• Diced the sausage and onion and fry in a medium heat pan. Cut the lemon and squeeze over the pan once cooked.
• Dice the Capsicum.
• Snap the stems off the mushrooms. Add a tea spoon of Salsa to the inside base of the mushrooms. Dice the stems of the mushrooms.
• Once the potato is cooked, put the potato, sausage and onion, bocancini, capsicum, mushroom stems, and mixed herbs into a bowl and mix together.
• Place the mushroom caps onto an oven tray. Scoop the mixture into the mushroom caps. Sprinkle the mushrooms with grated cheese.
• Put the Stuffed Mushrooms with Sausage into a preheated oven (preheated to 180 degrees celcius) and cook until the grated cheese is melted.
• Grind with salt and pepper to taste (note i usually don't but i notice that most people do)
  
• Serve with a dolop of sour creame or a Guacomole.

Variation:
As always a little spice can have a big impact, and this Stuffed Mushrooms with Sausage recipe is no exception. I will use either or two variations of this recipe.
#1. Sprinkle with dried chilli flakes after removing the Stuffed Mushrooms with Sausage from the oven.
#2. Add a small amount of curry powder into the stuffed mixture prior to mixing and putting into the mushroom caps.

This Stuffed Mushrooms with Sausage recipe is versatile enough to be used as either a main meal, side dish or entree.

Easy Cooking Bruschetta Recipe

This easy-cooking-for-men bruschetta recipe is very versatile, it can be served as either a main dish or as a entree. The tomato mix can also be used as a garnish on other dishes, particularly with fish. This recipe should take about 10 to 15 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 6 large fresh tomatoes (the freshest and ripest you can find will make the best bruschetta recipe)
• 1 red onion
• Splash of extra virgin olive oil (highest quality you can find)
• 1 small handful of basil leaves (fresh from your garden is best)
• Your favourite garlic bread
• Boccancini
• 1 large lemon
• Salt

Method:

• Squeeze the lemon into a medium size bowl (cereal or soup bowl is fine). Remove all lemon seeds.
• Pour the oil in with the lemon juice, the amount of oil should be about 3 times the amount of lemon juice.
• Wisk the lemon and oil until well mixed, looks slightly milky. Dice the basil leaves and throw in with the lemon and oil.
• Finely dice the onion as fine as you can. Place the onions into the lemon oil mixture. The time spent in the lemon oil mixture will remove the bite of the onion and provide the bruschetta with a more subtle refreshing flavour.
• Place the garlic bread onto an oven tray, buttered side up.
• Slice the boccancini and place over the uncooked garlic bread slices.
• Place the garlic bread in an oven or grill and cook to your liking, (cooking the same as your normal standard for the garlic bread you are using). Note. Don't let the boccancini burn, it will start to turn a light brown colour around the edges.
• While the garlic bread is cooking, half the tomatoes, with a spoon scoop out the seeds. Throw away the seeds.
• Chop the tomatoes.
• Combine the onions and tomatoes in a large mixing bowl just prior to placing onto the garlic bread. Gently mix the tomato onions and oil to cover all the tomatoes.
• Remove the bread from the oven and scoop on the tomato mixture.
• Serve immeaditely which a crack of fresh sea salt.

Served with a light fruity white wine, this bruschetta recipe is well served as a refreshing entree, or is substantial and satisfying enough to be served as a meal by itself.
