These delicious roasted mushroom caps filled with asparagus or other vegetable stuffing are a beautiful presentation-worthy dinner party option and are vegan-friendly too.
The mushroom caps can also be served as a starter or as a great cocktail party snack, depending on how many you serve. Three to five makes a full size serving. We used leftover roasted asparagus but you can use any leftover or cooked veggie including spinach, roasted peppers, eggplant or whatever you have.
Feel free to experiment and adjust the seasonings accordingly. How about spinach with a touch of nutmeg or eggplant and middle Eastern spices? Use your imagination.
