Society | September 8, 2006, Friday // 00:00

Ingredients:
24 (1 1/2- to 2-inch-wide) cremini or baby bella mushrooms with stems; 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus additional for buttering dish; 1 large garlic clove, minced; 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano; 4 oz pecans (1 cup), finely chopped; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; 1 cup heavy cream

Preparation:
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 250В°C. Trim ends of mushroom stems and carefully separate caps and stems, reserving both. Arrange caps, stemmed sides up, in a buttered 13- by 9-inch shallow baking dish.

Finely chop stems, then cook with garlic and oregano in butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in pecans, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Stir in 1/3 cup cream and bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.

Sprinkle insides of caps with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, then divide filling among caps. Drizzle mushrooms with remaining 2/3 cup cream and bake until filling is browned and caps are tender, about 30 minutes. Serve mushrooms drizzled with pan juices.
