June 19th, 2009

1 pound large mushrooms, cleaned
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon sour cream
1/4 cup finely chopped macadamia nuts
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon fines herbs

Pull stems out of mushrooms and place mushroom caps on a broiling pan. Finely chop stems and toss with lemon juice. In a sauté pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped stems and sauté until liquid evaporates. Stir in sour cream and sauté until mixture appears almost dry. Transfer mushroom mixture to a bowl. Stir in macadamia nuts, salt, pepper and fines herbs. Let cool.

Trim the rind off the Brie and discard the rind. Finely dice the Brie and stir into the mushroom mixture.
Preheat the broiler. With a small spoon, fill the mushroom caps with the stuffing. Broil until bubbly and golden brown. SERVES 6
