Wonderful mushroom appetizer with walnuts.

Ingredients

• Large champignon mushrooms - 8 pcs.
• Walnuts (chopped) - 50 g
• Garlic - 2 cloves
• Zest of one lemon
• Olive oil - 90 g (6 tablespoons)
• Fresh parsley (chopped) - 30 g (2 tbsp.)
• Salt - to taste

Directions

1. In a mortar, grind the garlic with a little salt, then add the zest and olive oil, mix well.
2. Turn on the oven to preheat to 200 degrees. In mushrooms, almost completely cut off the legs, leaving about 2 centimeters on the hat. Arrange the mushrooms in a heatproof dish with the legs up. Drizzle the mushrooms with about 4 tablespoons of the butter-garlic mixture and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
