Mashed-Potatoes Stuffed Mushrooms in Tomato-Paste Sauce

Dears, what have you planned for the weekend? I bet folks who live in the US, have some major plans for the long weekend..so do I. I am going over to one of my friend's place for a birthday party and to enjoy her fabulous cooking.While I am out there enjoying her cooking, I will leave you with a recipe that you can enjoy.This recipe that has been sitting in the draft, is a vegetarian version of a Turkish recipe(Coming soon) which will have even a picky eater swoon over.Also look forward to a Russian recipe that anyone can whip up in a jiffy. :)
Have a great (long) weekend!This goes to Bangalore Baker's Bake-Off Event.
Ingredients:
  • Brown Button Mushrooms -20-25#s, medium to large-headed
  • Yukon Gold Potatoes - 4, medium, quartered
  • Butter - 3 tbsp
  • Milk - 4-5 tbsp
  • Salt and ground Pepper - for taste
  • Tomato Paste - 3 tbsp
  • Olive Oil - 3 tbsp
  • Water  - 1 cup
  • Cracked pepper - 1 tsp
  • Mozzarella  cheese - 3/4 cup,shredded
  • Cubanelle Pepper - 1, thinly sliced to rings
  • Red Pepper  or Large Tomato - 1/2, thinly sliced
Procedure:
  • In a pan, add  the quartered potatoes, fill cold water to cover the potatoes and bring it to a boil till its tender.
  • Drain the potatoes and quickly mash the hot potatoes with skin along with the butter and milk.
  • Sprinkle salt and finely ground pepper and gently mix. Set aside.
  • Clean the mushrooms with moist teal-towels and remove the stalk(save it to make vegetable stock in the future).
  • Fill the mushroom caps with mashed potatoes using a spoon or a mini ice-cream scoop.
  • Top the mashed potatoes with a ring of cubanelle pepper and a slice of red pepper or Tomato.
  • Sprinkle a tsp of mozzarella cheese over the peppers.
  • Tomato Paste Sauce: Mix the tomato paste with water, olive oil, a tsp of cracked pepper and make a sauce.
  • Pour the prepared sauce into an oven-proof dish and spread it evenly.
  • Arrange the filled-mushroom and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Note:
  • Freeze the mushroom stalks for making vegetable stock.
  • Ready-made Marinara Sauce may be used instead of the Tomato-Paste Sauce.
  • Leftover Mashed Potatoes may be used.
Enjoy!
