Mushrooms have been a staple in human diets for centuries, and for good reason. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and antioxidants, and they have a umami-rich flavor that can add depth to any dish. In this recipe, we stuff mushrooms with a mixture of marjoram, sage, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. The marjoram and sage provide a warm, earthy flavor, while the garlic and Parmesan cheese add a bit of sharpness and saltiness. The result is a dish that is both hearty and flavorful.
