Stuffed Mushrooms with Walnuts, Garlic + Parsley
- Preheat your oven to 400°F [200°C]. Line a small sheet pan or baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Put the walnuts, parsley, garlic, cheese, and salt into a food processor, in that order. Pulse until everything is finely chopped. Add the olive oil and pulse to combine.
- Use a small spoon to distribute the walnut mixture evenly among the mushrooms, placing it in the cavities the now-gone stems left behind. Line up the mushrooms, stuffed-sides up, on the prepared sheet pan.
- Roast the mushrooms until softened and the tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Let the mushrooms cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.
I started making these stuffed mushrooms as a Thanksgiving appetizer a few years ago when we had a few vegetarians at our table. I wanted to be able to offer them something rich and warm when they walked in. It turns out that everyone, not just vegetarians, love these. And they’re so simple.
If you want to be really organized, you can stuff the mushrooms a few days ahead of time, refrigerate them, and then pop them in the oven when the doorbell rings. The walnut mixture also makes a great topping for pasta or roasted vegetables. If you leave out the cheese, these mushrooms become vegan and are still quite delicious.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup [30 g] walnut halves
- A large handful of fresh Italian parsley leaves (a little bit of stem is fine!)
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 3 Tbsp coarsely grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 12 small cremini or button mushrooms, stemmed

Now Again leaves no dish and no one behind: garlicky shrimp with tequila and lime will turn the next day to shrimp and kimchi pancakes; cucumbers with sumac and warm pita are a no-brainer for even the most novice of cooks; matzo ball soup and Passover tradition aren't abandoned; and a wife's birthday cake will leave no spouse unsatisfied." -YOTAM OTTOLENGHI

"Let's be honest. If all you're looking for is a recipe, the internet's got you covered. But if like me you read a cookbook to make friends over food with the person who wrote it, then Now Again is perfect. Julia's personal stories, approachable recipes, and conversational tone suggest that you're sitting at her kitchen counter shelling peas or peeling carrots. She makes you feel like you're a part of things. Plus Julia sheds light on two skills I need to hone: reinventing leftovers and delegating." -VIVIAN HOWARD

"I am so excited about this book because Julia is very, very good at throwing unpretentious, cozy meals together and I know this because I've been shamelessly stalking her plates and picnics on social media for years, hoping to glean ideas. This book will save me a lot of snooping in the future and I don't care that it's only August, I'm making the Not-Kosher Jewish Christmas menu first." -DEB PERELMAN

"Julia Turshen's new book is a rich compendium of recipes that are reassuringly do-able, full of inviting flavour, designed to make life easier and bring pleasure to the kitchen as much as to the table. This would be quite enough, but added to this, Turshen elaborates on the recipes, adding advice as to how the various components of a recipe can be tweaked and turned into other dishes and - this is always a joy to the home cook - how leftovers can be refashioned into further meals."—Nigella Lawson, author of At My Table

I was a little worried that this book would be too similar to her first, "Small Victories", as often times cookbook authors re-hash their recipes to rush their second release after their successful debut. This is definitely not the case. "Now and Again" complements "Small Victories". They have the same ethos of simple yet carefully thought out recipes that are mostly healthy for the body (and wallet!). I consider myself to be a fairly competent cook, but these recipes get me to think about ingredients in ways that I had never thought before. For instance, left over broccoli rabe from the sandwiches gets turned into a quick pesto. Highly recommend this cookbook. 2 years ago I bought copies of "Small Victories" for all of my relatives for Christmas. 1 year ago, I bought copies of "Feed the Resistance" for gifts. I'm probably going to do the same this year.

Highly recommend this cookbook. 2 years ago I bought copies of "Small Victories" for all of my relatives for Christmas. 1 year ago, I bought copies of "Feed the Resistance" for gifts. I'm probably going to do the same this year.
I made an Italian lunch from the book, which included a baked ziti with ground turkey and creamy spinach mixed in, toasts with anchovy/garlic butter, and an arugula salad with pine nuts and lemon. The combination was a huge crowd pleaser, and the recipes were a joy - simple, no fuss, and no crazed steps. Very difficult to screw up.
At the end, about half the salad was leftover. Each meal has tips for leftovers, and in this case the author suggested I blend the arugula salad with garlic, olive oil, and salt to make pesto. And, well, it made a delicious pesto. From soggy salad to delicious pesto with hardly any effort - genius.
This book is brilliant in its simplicity. Easy to make yet impressive meals with no waste at the end. No need to think about what dishes to combine to form a meal - it's all planned out for you. I own about 30 cookbooks and this is my new favorite.
Also... this cook book is my new FAVORITE, because, in addition to the leftover recipes (Did I gush enough above??), it contains many wonderful recipes that I'm dying to try, with really readable writing, and gorgeous photos. This cookbook has it all. Thank you, Julia Turshen, I hope this book gets the attention it deserves. - J.O.
This book is a delight! The quality of the book—the photos, the paper it’s printed on—are all fantastic. It’s a joy just to flip through the book and look at the recipes and photos.
I really appreciate how the book is designed, first by season and then grouped by meals. For home cooks who struggle to put together a cohesive meal, this book is a great place to start if you want to develop that skill. And I love the fact that each meal grouping includes followup recipes to give you ideas for new ways to use leftovers, which is so helpful if you have picky eaters who don’t like leftovers.
Buy this book! In addition to everything else I mentioned, Julia Turshen writes great recipes. You can’t go wrong with this book regardless of your level of cooking experience. I own a lot of cookbooks, but in less than a week I can tell this is going to be one of my favorites.
