Roasted Red Pepper Stuffed Mushrooms

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil.

Clean mushrooms and remove the stems, setting aside. Place mushrooms, stem side down, on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes and remove from oven.

While mushrooms are initially roasting, mince stems to produce about 1 cup of mushroom “meat” for filling. Melt ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add diced shallot to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium.

Add chopped mushroom stems and continue cooking until mushroom liquid is released. Season with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and continue cooking until mushrooms just start to crisp.

Meanwhile, drain roasted red peppers and dice small. Add peppers to the skillet and cook until liquid is mostly evaporated. Remove skillet from heat.

In a medium bowl, add mayonnaise, hot sauce and almond flour. Add in skillet ingredients and stir until well combined. Use a spoon to stuff the prepared mushroom caps.

Reduce oven heat to 375 degrees and return stuffed mushrooms to the oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Garnish with chopped chives (optional) and serve.
