rosemary sprigs and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook over high heat
until mixture is slightly reduced, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour into a
shallow casserole, add mushroom caps, stem sides up. Cover and braise
in the over for 30 minutes. Take casserole from oven, remove mushroom
caps and set aside. Strain braising liquid and set it aside. Heat
remaining 1 ts oil in a nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Add
leeks and stir until translucent. Add braising sauce and cook until

slightly; stir in chopped fresh thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Stuff
mushroom caps with leek filling; arrange caps on a small baking
sheet. Preheat broiler. Just before serving, sprinkle stuffed
mushrooms with cheese. Broil until heated through and cheese melts,
about 1 minute.
