I know we’re way past party season, but is there ever really a time when Chorizo and Walnut Stuffed Mushrooms don’t sound wonderful?

I developed this recipe for Evite who challenged me to come up with three party appetizers for under fifty bucks (check out the video below for all three recipes) and don’t you know, a batch of these babies can be made for under $15, but that’s not even the best part of this recipe.

How to make chorizo and walnut stuffed mushrooms

No, the number one reason you are going to want to make these is the savory chorizo and walnut stuffing. Traditional stuffed mushrooms use breadcrumbs to bind all the ingredients and help them to not fall apart as they bake.

This recipe uses walnuts instead, making them extra rich and actually more nutritious with the added Omega-3s and minerals you get from the nuts.

To make them is really very easy. The first step is to clean the mushrooms but you want to be careful to do this by rubbing with a paper towel and not rinsing with water. Mushrooms soak up water like a sponge and this makes for chewy, not dense, flavorful mushrooms.

Don’t forget to save those stems either, they also go into the stuffing which is easily blended in a food processor. Brown the chorizo and then add the stuffing mixture to toast for a minute or two in the fat from the chorizo. The final step is to mix in the salty Cotija cheese.

Tightly pack the stuffing into the mushroom caps and bake until browned and bubbly. Sprinkle with some extra Italian parsley and some more Cotija.
