Constable's Caps

"Once you've acquired the agarics, the fun part is stuffin' 'em. I've used diced meat, mixed veg, and even imitation killcrab as fillin' before, but this here recipe is on of my favorite varaitions, hands down. Taste this spectacular can't possibly be legal!"

- Strono Tuggs

Constable's Caps was a dish consisting of gray fungus stuffed with various fillings. The dish's quirky name was inspired by the Kyuzo Outpost Militia of Niima Outpost on the planet Jakku, who wore Kyuzo war shield helmets that bore a striking resemblance to the fungus caps used in the dish. At some point following the Battle of Takodana in 34 ABY, the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included a recipe for the dish in his cookbook, The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook.

In the book, Tuggs suggested that the best place to find large fungus to use in the recipe was the fungal forests of the planet Skako Minor, and stated that a wide range of fillings could be used to stuff the fungus including diced meat, mixed vegetables or even imitation killcrab. Tuggs provided a recipe using his favourite filling, which included bread crumbs and cheese.

Behind the scenes
Constable's Caps was created as one of the recipes in the 2019 cookbook Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook, which was written by Marc Sumerak and Chelsea Monroe-Cassel. The recipe given in the book uses a pound of button mushrooms, three tablespoons of butter, a clove of minced garlic, half a cup of panko breadcrumbs, quarter of a cup of grated Parmesan cheese, two finely chopped green onions, a tablespoon of chopped parsley, half a teaspoon of garam masala and salt plus pepper.

To prepare the dish, the mushroom stems are removed and diced and then cooked with the garlic in butter. The bread crumbs, Parmesan, onions, parsley and garam marsala, salt and pepper are then also added to the butter and cooked until the cheese has softened. The butter mix is then spooned into the mushroom caps which are then baked until soft.
