PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Remove thick end of mushroom stem, leaving about 1/2 inch (1 cm) attached to cap.
• Place, smooth side up, in large, shallow glass dish.
• Combine oil, vinegar, thyme, salt and pepper; pour over mushrooms, turning and brushing to coat evenly.
• Let stand for 15 minutes.
• Reserving marinade, place mushrooms, smooth side down, on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and cook for 5 minutes.
• Turn and baste with marinade; cook, covered, for about 3 minutes or until mushrooms yield to the touch when pressed.
• Arrange Parmesan over top; cook, covered, for about 2 minutes or until melted.

MEDITERRANEAN STUFFED PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Remove stems from mushrooms and chop finely. I'm not a chopped so at this time I pull out the electric processor. If you are using the bell peppers, you should only use 1/4 cup of the mushroom stems. I use all of them. Combine the onion through the garlic.
• Heat a skillet over medium, coat the pan with cooking spray. Add the chopped veggie mix to the pan and cook 10 minutes until they are tender.
• Toss the veggie mix and the bread in a separate bowl. Add the broth slowly, tossing to coat. Add feta and toss gently.
• Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Brush cleaned mushrooms with 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette, sprinkle with parmesan and black pepper, top each mushroom with 1/2 cup of bread mixture.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.
• Combine remaining 2 tablespoons of dressing and salad greens.
• Serve 1 cup of greens with 1 mushroom cap.

ROASTED PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• PREPARE THE MUSHROOMS.
• Remove the stems from the mushrooms.
• With a wet paper towel or mushroom brush, clean the mushroom tops so they are free of any dirt.
• Combine the marinade ingredients in a plastic bag and add the mushrooms. Marinate for at least 30 minutes up to 24 hours. Toss the mixture a few times during the marinade process.
• When your ready, roast the mushrooms on a foil lined rimmed baking sheet for 20 minutes at 400F, flipping the mushroom halfway through.
• While the mushrooms are roasting, prepare the pine nuts, zucchini noodle & tomato mixture.
• PREPARE THE PINE NUTS, ZUCCHINI & TOMATOES.
• In a small skillet, heat the pine nuts until just starting to brown, tossing as they heat. Set aside.
• Cut the tomatoes in half, place in a bowl and season with salt. Set aside.
• Using a julienne peeler or spiralizer, make the zucchini noodles.
• If the zucchini is particularly watery, you can blot it with a paper towel.
• Otherwise, when there is about 5 minutes left on the mushrooms, proceed to heat a small skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the zucchini noodles and cherry tomatoes. Heat for 3-4 minutes, tossing a bit while you go, until tomatoes start to wilt and zucchini is heated through.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• PUT IT ALL TOGETHER.
• Once the mushrooms are tender, remove and sprinkle with sea salt (I used Maldon finishing salt available here) and the chopped thyme.
• Plate the mushrooms, top with zucchini tomato mixture.
• Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts, cheese and fresh parsley.
