Made this tonight in a kitchenette in a hotel--so without proper equipment and not all the right ingredients. My coworker and I really enjoyed the dish. The mushroom caps had a great flavor and the filling (zucchini instead of red pepper, italian bread toasted instead of pita & shaved parmesan the only cheese). The filling had a chunkier consistency than it would have had with a food processor, the right knife, etc. I look forward to making this again (and again and again) in my own kitchen!
