Vegetable Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms Recipes

STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange a wire baking rack inside a rimmed baking sheet (lined with foil, if desired).
• Wash the portobello mushrooms off and dry with clean paper towels. Use a paring knife to slice the stems off, and use your hands to pull off any soft parts of the mushroom along the edge that overlaps the gills. Reserve these parts.
• Place the mushrooms stem side down on the rack in the baking sheet. Brush with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Turn them stem side up and repeat on the other side with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Roast in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• While the mushrooms are roasting, chop up the stems and any other scraps from the mushrooms. Sauté the onion and chopped mushroom in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat with a pinch of salt and pepper until softened and starting to brown (about 3 minutes). Add the baby spinach and sauté until wilted (about 1 minute). Add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add the marinara sauce (1 cup) and stir together. Turn off heat.
• In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs (1/4 cup), remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dried oregano (1 teaspoon), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Remove mushrooms from oven. You may notice pools of liquid inside each cap. Use a paper towel held by tongs to press down in each cap to absorb as much liquid as you can.
• Divide the marinara mixture evenly into each mushroom cap, followed by 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese on each. Sprinkle each evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
• Continue baking at 425 degrees F for 10-15 more minutes, until cheese is melted and breadcrumbs are toasted. Serve hot.

VEGETARIAN STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Turn on the oven's broiler to a low setting.
• Combine squash, zucchini, peppers, onion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and 2 1/2 tablespoons seasoning blend in a bowl. Mix well.
• Cook on the preheated grill until tender, 7 to 8 minutes.
• While vegetables are cooking, rub remaining olive oil on outsides and insides of mushrooms. Lay face-down on a baking sheet and sprinkle remaining seasoning blend over.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler on very low setting.
• Broil until slightly darkened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove mushrooms and turn upside-down. Fill mushrooms with grilled vegetables, then top with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Return to the broiler until cheese is lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle parsley around edges of serving plates, and put a few pineapple chunks on each mushroom for that "extra" touch to make it fancy!

CHEESY, STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment and set aside.
• Roast the mushrooms: Arrange the mushrooms, stem side up, onions and garlic cloves in a single layer on 1 prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with half of the olive oil. Drizzle 1/2 cup water around the mushrooms on the baking sheet. Season generously with salt and pepper. Roast in the center of the oven until the mushrooms shrink in size and become darker brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove and let cool.
• Bread the mushrooms: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with a splash of water. In another medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the granulated garlic. Dip each mushroom in the egg mixture and then coat completely with the breadcrumbs. Reserve everything.
• Fry the mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat until it begins to smoke. Add the mushrooms in a single layer. Cook on one side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the second side until golden brown, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the oil and arrange in a single layer on a clean baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the roasted garlic cloves and onion slices with the cheese. Add any remaining egg and 1/4 cup of the breadcrumbs leftover from the breading. Add the basil and mix well.
• Assemble and bake: On the same baking sheet, place 2 portobellos, stem-side up, with some distance between them. Pile half of the filling on each and then top with the remaining mushrooms, pressing gently but firmly down, so it forms a fairly compact sandwich. Bake until the cheese melts, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Arrange the lettuce to form 2 cups. Drizzle some pickle juice and red wine vinegar into the cups. Season with salt and pepper and then top with some sliced pickles.
• Place each mushroom burger onto a bottom bun. Flip a lettuce cup onto each burger and top with the top bun. Serve.

• Heat remaining oil in a small pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is transparent and garlic fragrant, about 5 minutes.
• Combine lentils, onion-garlic mixture, 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir until well mixed.
• Fill mushroom caps evenly with mixture and top with remaining Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve.

• In a large bowl, mix together the shallot-spinach mixture, beans, parsley, breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast and the remaining sea salt and pepper. Divide the mixture among the mushrooms. Sprinkle the tops with some extra breadcrumbs and nutritional yeast for more crunch, if desired. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, until heated throughout. Serve hot.
