Champignons de Paris Farcis
450
At the end of hot September days followed by early rain, the local markets in France are abundant with wild mushrooms. The selection is incredible! One can find chanterelles, morilles, girolles, cèpes, etc. The cèpes are such prized mushrooms by the French. Last week we went to our village marché in Tournefeuille and found the most wonderful cèpes at about 10 € or dollars a pound. We cooked them with only parsley and garlic. They were absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, I have yet to find cèpes in the United States, (the closest could be the Shitake).
So this week’s recipe features white mushrooms or champignons de Paris. This is a simple and very tasty recipe to make and it can be prepared in advance (and then cooked in the oven). Note: The same recipe can be made with small mushrooms and served as hot hors-d’oeuvre.
