Stuffed Mushrooms
Description
A mushroom is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground, on soil ( Wikipedia). There are lots of edible mushrooms in the world. They are a rich, low-calorie source of fiber, protein, and antioxidants. They make a delicious side dish or their meaty texture and earthy flavor give an extra taste to whatever dish they are added. Portabella Mushrooms are one of them and these are the most commonly consumed mushrooms in North America.
