Ingredients:

- 1 small yellow onion.
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced.
- 1 tbsp thyme.
- 2 tbsp red of white wine.
- 3 tbsp water.
- 1 bunch fresh spinach, chopped.
- 1/4 cup almonds, toasted and ground.
- salt and pepper to taste.
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Wash the mushrooms. Pull the stems off the mushrooms, chop them, and set them aside.
- Ina large pan, saute the chopped onions in olive oil until translucent, then add the garlic, chopped mushroom stems, and thyme.
- Once the stems are soft, deglaze the pan with wine (red or white, both add very different flavors) and water.
- Put the mushroom tops in pan, top down, and spoon a bit of the juice over them. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
- While they are simmering, grind the toasted almonds. Mix the ground almonds with pepper (to taste).
- Take the mushroom tops out of the pan, and add the spinach to the pan along with salt (to taste), allow the spinach to wilt.

9.Fill the mushroom caps with the filling, then put in a single layer on a baking dish and bake for 15- 20 minutes. The mushrooms should start to turn golden and the stuffing will brown.
10.Enjoy!
I had to replace the mushroom caps with baby bell mushrooms, because I simply did not have the mushroom caps. (It tasted just as great). Also, sorry I forgot to take a photo of the finishing product, but I do have photos of the process.
