STEP 1

Prepare the Stuffed Mushrooms

1. Sauté the Onion and Sausage: In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent. Add Italian sausage bits and cook until browned, breaking up the sausage as it cooks.

2. Add Garlic and Mushroom Stems: Add the minced garlic and the chopped mushroom stems to the pan with the sausage mixture. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes.

3. Season: Add salt, pepper, and oregano to the mixture, followed by a couple of splashes of Gratsi white wine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

4. Add Breadcrumbs and Fresh Ingredients: Stir in breadcrumbs, then add the chopped parsley and jalapeños. Mix thoroughly.

5. Mix with Cheese: Transfer the sausage mixture to a bowl. Add the grated Parmigiano Reggiano and cubed truffle cheese. Stir to combine.

6. Stuff the Mushrooms: Arrange the mushroom caps on a baking sheet. Spoon the sausage mixture into each mushroom. Top with grated cheese.

7.Bake the Mushrooms: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the stuffed mushrooms for 15 minutes or until they are tender and the cheese is lightly gold

Make the Mushroom White Wine Sauce

2. Add Wine and Stock: Pour in Gratsi white wine and let it reduce by half. Then add chicken stock. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Set aside.

Dredge your cutlets by first coating them in flour, then the egg wash, then the breadcrumbs.

STEP 5

Heat 1/2" oil over medium heat in a heavy-bottom skillet. Working one at a time (or two, if you have a very large skillet), cook cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
