Prepare the filling
In a medium bowl, combine the mozzarella, parmesan, diced roasted red peppers, chopped olives, salt and pepper and mix well.
Prepare the mushrooms
Clean the exterior of the mushrooms with a damp sponge or paper towel. See instructions in post for How to Clean Mushrooms.
Remove the stems and gills (optional). See post for How to Remove Stems and Gills.
Use 2 tablespoons of olive oil to brush the outsides. The mushrooms are very porous and will absorb the oil.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the balsamic and tamari and brush the inside of the mushrooms.
Stuff the mushrooms with the filling.
Sprinkle the tops with crisp topping of choice (see Notes in ingredients for options).
Smoke the mushrooms
Place on the grill and smoke for 30-40 minutes. Smoke time will depend on the size and variety of mushroom used.
When the mushrooms are tender, soft and juicy, remove from the smoker.
How to store
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
