ricotta stuffed mushrooms

These mushrooms are perfect as a starter or part of an antipasti plate. They are quite hearty so they could also be a light lunch with a green salad.

Yields8 Servings
 8 field mushrooms, stems removed and outer skin peeled
 400 g ricotta cheese
 ½ lemon, zest
 4 tbsp parmesan, grated
 2 tbsp fresh thyme
1

Preheat oven grill. Combine all ingredients except the mushrooms in a bowl and mix well. Lay mushrooms on a baking tray and drizzle with oil.

Drizzle with a little more oil and place under the grill just until the ricotta starts to brown slightly.
