Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms

Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms

20 medium mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped shallots, scallions or onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 T. balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp. soy sauce
2 C. chopped fresh spinach
1/2 cup Yogurt Cheese
Pepper

Wash the mushrooms and carefully remove the stems without breaking the caps. Chop the stems until they are quite fine. Combine the shallots, garlic and vinegar in a small skillet or saucepan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chopped mushroom stems and soy sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes, until the mushrooms soften and release their juices. Add the spinach and cook, continuing to stir, until it is wilted and the liquid in the pan is absorbed. Remove from the heat, let cool for a few minutes, then stir in the Yogurt Cheese. Season with pepper to taste. Stuff the spinach filling into the mushroom caps. The mushrooms can baked at once or the recipe can be prepared to this point and refrigerated for baking later. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. If the mushrooms were stuffed ahead and refrigerated, bring them back to room temperature while the oven reheats. Place the mushrooms in a baking pan and bake for 20 minutes, until tender. Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes for the filling to set before serving.
