--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4                    large flat mushrooms
   1      slice         white bread
   1      tbsp          fresh thyme -- finely chopped
   1      tbsp          fresh oregano -- finely chopped
   1      tbsp          fresh rosemary -- finely chopped
   1      clove         garlic
 100      g             vegetarian cheddar cheese -- grated
                        salt and freshly ground black pepper
  50      g             butter
                        olive oil

1. Wipe the mushrooms clean and cut off the stalks. To make the herby 
breadcrumbs, whizz the trimmed mushroom stalks in a food processor with 
the slice of bread, herbs and garlic. Mix the breadcrumbs with the cheese. 
Season to taste.

2. Put equal amounts of butter in each mushroom, brush the outside of the 
mushrooms with oil and cook on the barbecue for about 4 minutes. 

3. Remove the mushrooms from the barbecue. Pack each mushoom with the herb 
and cheese mixture. Place the stuffed mushrooms on the grill and barbecue 
for about 4 minutes.

NOTES : Buy flat mushrooms with a lip around the edge - it helps to keep 
       all the stuffing packed in.
