The other day at the store I walked by a sale on portobello mushrooms, with three giant mushrooms on sale for $2.50. I was inspired to get them (I'd never cooked portobello mushrooms before) and come up with a recipe. Here's what I came up with. It was a big hit with the whole family (although it didn't do much to help me meet my calorie goal or the day!).
Cam's Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
kosher salt
1 large tomato (cut into small pieces)
2 tbs diced garlic
1 onion (diced)
3 cups spinach
6 oz white mushrooms (cut into slices)
4 fresh artichoke hearts (cut into small pieces)
½ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
4 portobello mushrooms
goat cheese
garlic powder
onion powder
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cut the eggplant into slices. Sprinkle salt over eggplant and allow it to sit for at least
ten minutes. I usually do this in
a colander, layering the eggplant and salting each layer as I go, because the
eggplant will drain. Once the
eggplant has drained rinse it well and then cut it into bite sized pieces.
Pour the olive oil and balsamic vinegar into a large
pan.
Add the eggplant, tomato, garlic, onion, spinach, mushrooms
and artichoke hearts. Sprinkle on
garlic powder, onion powder and kosher salt (about 1 tbs of each). Stir until it’s mixed well. Heat on the stove top over medium until
the eggplant is cooked (about 10 minutes).
Spoon the veggie mixture into the prepared portabella
mushrooms (washed with their stems removed). Top with a slice of goat cheese. Cook at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until the mushroom
looks done!
Allow to cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
My oldest always liked these used in place of hamburger on a bun, grilled, with the cheese and the whole works.
ReplyDeleteYou can also use the same sauces you might use on a tenderloin steak.
cream cheese and spiced hamburger or sausage also top a portabella nicely.
Love food. I'm eating paleo to lose weight and it is working for me nicely. 18 pounds in a single month! If I keep it up, I'll be svelte by fall.
This looks delicious! I think I'm going to add some meat and cook it up! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis looks and sounds wonderful! My husband loves portobellos, and we are always looking for new meat-free recipes.
