Marinated Parmesan Food

MARINATED AND STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS WITH PARMESAN-HERB BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack 4 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to high.
• Whisk together 1/4 cup of the oil, the vinegar and mustard in a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Dip each mushroom cap in the marinade, turning to coat on all sides. Let the mushrooms sit in the marinade for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and saute until just beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add the squash, zucchini and tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute until beginning to soften, 4 minutes.
• Mix together the panko, Parmesan and parsley in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the mushrooms, cap-side down, until slightly charred, about 3 minutes per side. Wipe out the baking dish with a paper towel and return the mushrooms to the baking dish, cap-side down. Divide the sauteed vegetables among the mushroom caps. Cover the vegetables with the panko mixture, drizzle with a bit of olive oil and place under the broiler until browned, about 2 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

OVEN ROASTED PARMESAN POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan or cast iron skillet with cooking spray; pour in about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to coat the bottom.
• Mix Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper together in a bowl.
• Blot the cut-side of potatoes with a paper towel to remove any moisture. Place potatoes in a bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; toss until potatoes are lightly coated. Sprinkle potatoes with Parmesan cheese mixture; toss to coat. Arrange potatoes, cut-side down, onto the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn potatoes to cut-side up; continue baking until golden and crispy, about 15 to 20 more minutes. Serve with sour cream.

GRILLED MARINATED LAMB CHOPS WITH CREAMY PARMESAN ONIONS

Steps:

• Lamb Chops and Marinade -- Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, tomatoes, rosemary, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper in a large baggie and shake and mix well. Add the lamb chops and let marinade all night and the next day. At least 8 hours. Then remove from the refrigerator and set on the counter to bring to room temp before grilling. Now we can make the onions.
• Onions -- Bring a large pot of salted water (just enough to cover the onions) up to boil and add the onions. Boil for 8-10 minutes until tender. Make sure to reserve 1/4 of the liquid for the sauce then drain the onions.
• Cream sauce -- In a small pot, add the butter and melt, then stir in the garlic and cook just a minute. Add in flour and cook one more minute. Don't let the flour brown. Add in the onion water and then the milk slowly and whisk as you go over medium heat. Season with the nutmeg, salt and pepper and slowly bring up to a medium boil until the sauce thickens.
• Bake -- In a 8x8" baking dish, spray with Pam or a non sick spray and add the onions. Top with the sauce and then the parmesan cheese. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 20-30 minutes uncovered until lightly brown on the top.
• Sauce -- In a small sauce pan, add the veal or beef stock, white wine and tomato paste and cook on medium low heat until it reduces by about half. Just let it simmer as the potatoes cook and you grill the lamb.
• Grilling -- As the onions bake, heat up your outside grill, or grill pan. You could also use a cast iron skillet or a stainless pan. First remove some of the marinade from the chops. I just use a flat knife to scrape off the extra marinade, then discard the marinade. We won't be using that. I add just a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan or grill. The lamb chops don't take long about 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare. I remove at 140 and then let set covered 5-7 minutes for perfectly medium rare chops.
• Plating -- Just add some of the creamy onions on your plate and top with a couple of the grilled chops and then drizzle just a couple of teaspoons of the beef, wine and tomato sauce over the chops.
• Add a nice salad or a green vegetable and that is a 5 star menu.
