Ingredients

  • 24 oz. button mushrooms
  • 1/3 lb. Chorizo sausage
  • 1/2 onion minced
  • 3 T. pickled jalapenos minced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 c. Gallo Family Vineyards Merlot
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 1/2 c. cheddar cheese
  • 3 T. fresh chives chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Wash the mushrooms and remove the stems, reserving them for later.
  • Crumble the Chorizo sausage into a skillet over medium heat. Cook until the sausage has browned. Remove from skillet and place in a medium bowl.
  • Add the onions, jalapenos, and garlic to the same skillet. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  • Add the Merlot to deglaze the pan, making sure to scrape any of the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the Merlot to cook for 2-3 minutes or until it reduces by half.
  • Chop the mushroom stems and add them to the skillet with the onions and Merlot. Cook for 3 minutes or until most of the Merlot has evaporated.
  • Pour the vegetable mixture into the bowl with the sausage. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl combine the cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Mix well.
  • Add the cheese mixture to the cooled sausage and vegetable mixture. Mix until everything is well combined.
  • Place the mushroom caps on a baking sheet and mound with the sausage and cheese mixture.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the stuffing begins to brown.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with chives.
