4 oz. Italian or French bread, crumbled

3

Tbsp. Dijon mustard

1/2 cup chopped parsley

2

Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

4 scallions, thinly sliced

1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

and reserved

1 tsp. olive oil

In a bowl, combine the broth, mustard, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Add the mushroom caps and toss to coat completely. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Reserving the marinade, drain the mushroom caps and set aside. Chop the mushroom stems and place them in a bowl. Add the bread, parsley, scallions, garlic, salt and oil. Add the reserved marinade to the bread mixture and stir to moisten thoroughly.

Grill the mushrooms, stemmed side down, for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer the mushrooms to a flat surface, turn them stemmed sides up and spoon the stuffing mixture into them, patting it down lightly. Return the mushrooms to the grill. Cover the mushrooms with heavy-duty foil and grill for 8 minutes or until the stuffing is hot.
