Stuffed Mushroom Skewers Side Dish Recipe

I was inspired by a cooking magazine (Cucinare bene) to prepare this unique and tasty side dish with champignon mushroom caps that had published a similar yet different recipe at the same time…
The stuffed mushroom skewers are a quick dish that I cooked on the grill but will also be good cooked in the oven.
I feared that the arugula cheese stuffing I prepared would melt but instead, it stayed well attached to the mushrooms; I deliberately didn’t add a drop of oil, but if you prefer… ^_^

WHAT ARE THE MOST USED MUSHROOMS IN COOKING???

1) CHAMPIGNON: available all year round and extremely versatile;

2) PORCINI: good raw, sautéed, dried;

3) CHANTERELLES OR GIROLLES: looks like a trumpet and shines in simple preparations;

4) MORELS: found dried and fresh is poisonous, so it must be cooked and gives a delicate almost sweet aroma;

5) POPLAR MUSHROOMS: perfect in preparations requiring long cooking like stews and roasts;

6) SHIITAKE: the excellence of oriental dishes with which great soups are made.
