This recipe for stuffed mushrooms gets heat from habanero peppers that's tempered by the richness of blue cheese. Four large portabella mushrooms can be substituted for the smaller mushrooms for an entree. —Laurie Bock, Lynden, Washington

Ingredients

  • 36 whole fresh mushrooms
  • 1/4 pound ground chicken
  • 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese

  • 1 habanero pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  2. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped mushroom stems, blue cheese, 1/4 cup parsley, almonds, pepper, garlic and za'atar seasoning. Stir until blended. Carefully spoon into mushroom caps. Brush with jam.
