Preparation

Step 1

Put the raisins, olives, pine nuts, parslye, and garlic on a cutting board and chop. Add the sausage and 1/3 cup of the cheese. Drizzle the stuffing with 1/4 cup of olive oil to moisten and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well. Put the bread crumbs into another bowl and drizzle with olive and and 1/4 cup of the cheese, season.

Oil the bottom and sides of a baing dish, large enough to hold all the mushrooms in a single layer. Arrange the mushrooms snugly in the pan, cap side down and season the insides with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.

Stuff each mushroom with the sausage stuffing and sprinkle with bread crums and drizzle with more oil. Bake for 20 minutes, until stuffing is browned and the mushroom is soft.
