| 1/2 pound | ground veal | |
| 1/2 pound | ground lamb | |
| 1 1/2 teaspoons | ground cumin | |
| 1 1/2 teaspoons | ground coriander | |

Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the mushroom caps and lemon juice and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain thoroughly and set aside to dry. Mince the reserved mushroom stems.
- Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and sauté until the shallots are translucent. Add the mushroom stems and sauté 2-3 minutes. Add veal, lamb, cumin and coriander, salt and pepper and sauté, stirring and breaking up any chunks, until the meat is thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat, adjust seasoning and cool.
- Whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. In a large bowl, carefully fold together the meat mixture, whipped cream, egg white and mint. Fill the mushroom caps with the filling in a slight dome shape and top with a sprinkling of fresh bread crumbs. Line the mushrooms up on a baking sheet and bake until heated through, 8-10 minutes. Serve immediately.
Notes
Stuffed mushrooms are a favorite at any party or family get-together. The mushrooms can be prepared and placed upon a baking sheet ahead of time. Simply refrigerate them until your guests arrive, then pop them in the oven.
