Broccoli Stuffed Baby Portabella Mushrooms

*Kathy*'s Note:

The broccoli in the stuffing is a nice change from the usual crab or sausage you find in many recipes. Do make the effort to add roasted bell pepper to the tops as it makes the finished mushrooms look really special. I found this recipe a few years ago in a magazine, but only tried it recently. Now it's my favorite mushroom recipe.

I made quite a few changes to suit my taste and it turned out good. I used garlic instead of onions, and raw bell peppers instead of roasted bell peppers. Nice addition to my vegetarian cookbook. Thank you.

They were delicious! We had a Vegetable Bake, Basmati Rice, and the mushrooms. The mushrooms were the star. We both enjoyed them very much. We are not Vegetarians, but this was a nice vegetarian dinner. Thank you Kathy. Made for the Australian/New Zealand recipe swap #14.
