Vegetarian Stuffed Portobello Mushroom Caps 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 oven to 400°F.
• Scrape black gills out of mushrooms with a spoon and remove stem.
• Brush outsides (tops) of mushroom caps lightly with olive oil. Place mushrooms on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, gill side up; sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
• In a small bowl, mix together ricotta, tomatoes, mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. Fill mushroom caps with cheese mixture.
• In a small skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic, stirring constantly for one minute. Remove from heat. Stir in panko, parsley, oregano, and salt until combined.
• Spread panko mixture evenly over cheese filling.
• Bake mushrooms in the preheated oven until tender and cheese is melted, about 15 to 17 minutes.

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!
