These giant stuffed mushrooms make a great meal for two or starter for four. The deep flavour of the sun-dried tomatoes is countered by the celery and tarragon, while the cheeses bring a pizza-like quality. Now that I think of it, you could add some cooked and crumbled Italian sausage to the stuffing to make them even more like pizzas. Perfect!
