1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms plus 1-1/2 cups quartered mushrooms

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add onion, chopped mushrooms, and chopped broccoli. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in parmesan, basil, and pepper.

Divide onion mixture and spread evenly over each cutlet. Starting with a short end, tightly roll up cutlets, jelly-roll style. Secure with toothpicks.
