Steps:

• Cook for about 2 minutes. Add wine, letting it come to a boil and reduced by 1/2 to 1/4. Stir in parsley and distribute evenly.
• Add crushed Ritz crackers to combine.
• Add sugar and parmesan. Stir to combine.
• Cook for another minute or two, enough to toast crackers over medium heat and reach desired consistency (it cooks quick). Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper if necessary.
• Remove from heat. Add lemon juice to taste. This mixture should not be to wet or too dry. When pressed together with fingertips mixture should hold together but slightly loose.
• Use as a stuffing for fish, shrimp, or mushrooms. If using for mushrooms, dice the mushroom stems and saute with the onions.
• NOTE: Portuguese Pimenta moida is the best hot sauce to use in this dish. It is used in this dish not as a "hot" ingredient but as to provide a unique flavor in the background. It can be found in Portuguese markets or in a well stocked supermarkets. You can find a recipe on this site "Recipe #482885" or it can be ordered online. if ordered online Goncalves brand is preferred and can be purchased inexpensively within this link: https://www.amaralsmarket.com/products-page/marinades-imported-from-portugal/gonslaves-hot-chopped-peppers-16-oz/.
• Note that this sauce isn't hot with a sharp bite like a tabasco and shouldn't be used as a substitute. A Franks Hot sauce or Louisiana Wing Sauce can be used as a substitute, but note that it isn't an exact equivalent.
