1. Pre heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
2. Remove the stalks from the mushrooms and keep to one side for later. Lay the mushrooms upside down in a large oven dish, toss with the olive oil and place a small knob of butter inside each one. Sprinkle with thyme and drizzle with vinegar. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
3. For the stuffing, soften the onions in a large pan with a little butter until golden. Finely chop the stalks of the mushrooms and place into a large bowl with the sausage meat (if using), breadcrumbs, chestnuts, garlic and rosemary. Mix well, season and add to the pan with the onions and allow to cook through.
4. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and heap the stuffing into each one. Return to the oven for a further 30 minutes or until the stuffing is crisp and golden.
5. Serve while hot with a side of mixed salad leaves.
