- 1 lb Portobello Mushroom Caps
- 1 lb Pork Sausage (Italian, casing removed)

How to put it together
Four simple steps and you are at the table with your sausage stuffed mushrooms! No special skills needed here, just a hot oven and a good bowl for tossing your kale.
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF (205ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the mushroom caps on the baking sheet. Divide the sausage evenly into balls and press into the mushroom caps. Cook for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- While those cook, toss kale with oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Massage kale to soften leaves and add parmesan.
- Divide your delicious sausage-stuffed mushrooms and kale salad evenly onto plates and dig in!
