2
medium leeks
1 teaspoon salt, divided
2 shallots, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fine, dry breadcrumbs
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Garnish: fresh basil sprigs

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Remove and discard root ends and dark green
tops of leeks. Thinly slice leeks, and rinse thoroughly under cold running

mushrooms, upside down, on a wire rack in an aluminum foil-lined jelly-roll
pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt; invert mushrooms.
3. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes.
4. Sauté leeks, shallots, and garlic in hot oil in a large skillet over medium
heat 3 to 5 minutes or until tender. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Stir in
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, next 3 ingredients, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt until
well combined. Spoon 1 heaping teaspoonful leek mixture into each mushroom
cap. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350° for 10
minutes or until golden. Garnish, if desired.  Serve on American Metalcraft
hammered tasting plates.
