Since Shiitake Mushrooms are immune boosters as well as anti-aging, I think of many ways to ingest these savory juicy jewels. Not only are they one of the most sought after fungi, they hold within them precious antibodies and minerals. Roasting/Baking brings out the savory note in the shiitake. For this stuffed and roasted recipe I used what I had in the fridge. I had parsley, the stems of shiitake, spinach, onions, thyme and bread crumbs. Use your imagination and build a great stuffed shiitake!
