Instructions
- Clean mushroom caps and smoke them over apple wood chips in a smoker for 10 minutes. Or, add 3 drops hickory liquid smoke to the marinade to get a smoky flavor without smoking.
- Poke holes in each mushroom cap with a toothpick. Mix marinade ingredients together and pour over mushroom caps in a large non-reactive container.
- Refrigerate 12 hours, turning mushrooms once.
- Make an incision partway through each mushroom cap to create a pocket, or cut each mushroom cap in half horizontally.
- Mix together stuffing ingredients and stuff each mushroom.
- Grill or saute mushrooms until soft. Serve hot or cold.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
