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.

VEGETABLE STUFFED PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line a sided baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using a small spoon, gently scoop the gills out of the inside of the mushroom. With a small knife, remove the stalk.
• Rub each mushroom with a bit of olive oil and set them on the prepared baking sheet, stalk side up.
• In a 12 inch sauté pan over medium high heat, add the olive oil then the onions. Sauté for 3 or 4 minutes, then add the zucchini and continue to cook as the zucchini begins to soften. Next add the red pepper and tomatoes. Cook for another few minutes. When the onions have become translucent and soft, add the garlic. Cook for one minute and add the spinach.
• Once the spinach wilts, remove the pan from the heat and add the rest of the ingredients, up to and including the Parmesan. Stir to combine.
• Divide the mixture in four; I spread the mixture out evenly in the pan and using my spoon, just slice through like a pie to divide equally. Stuff each mushroom with a quarter of the mixture.
• Bake in the oven for about 35 to 40 minutes. Top each mushroom with about 1 tablespoon of the mozzarella and continue baking for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is just beginning to get golden on top.

QUICK STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• ABOUT THE RECIPE: One evening I was hosting a casual dinner for close friends. I wanted to impress, but being that it was a weeknight, I was really short on prep time. I came up with this marvelous, eight-ingredient recipe for Quick Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms that tastes great and presents well, too! 4 to 6 Servings
• INGREDIENTS: 6 medium Portobello mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed 1 tablespoon, plus 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil, plus more as needed 1 tablespoon tamari 5 to 6 slices whole grain vegan bread, torn in several pieces 1 tablespoon all-purpose seasoning or Italian seasoning blend ½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more as needed ¾ cup chopped pecans or walnuts 2 cups (packed) baby spinach, finely chopped
• INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper. Arrange the mushrooms on the prepared pan, gill side up. Spoon ¼ teaspoon olive oil and ½ teaspoon tamari over the gills of each mushroom.
• Put the bread, all-purpose seasoning and salt in blender and process into crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl. Put the pecans in blender and process until coarsely ground. Transfer the pecans to the bowl with the breadcrumbs. Add the baby spinach, 1 tablespoon olive oil and stir until thoroughly combined, adding more olive oil if the crumbs still seem a bit dry.
• Divide the breadcrumb mixture evenly among the portobellos, mounding about 1/2 cup of the mixture in each (an ice-cream scoop works well). Press the mixture firmly in place so it will adhere to the mushrooms while baking. Tent the mushrooms with foil and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes longer, until the topping is crisp and the mushrooms are tender. Serve immediately.
