Stuffed Portabella With Spinach And Artichokes Food

SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE STUFFED PORTABELLO MUSHROOMS WITH TOMATO AND BREAD SALAD

Steps:

• Tidbit: Panzanella, stale bread salad, requires that you soak and wring out the bread before assembling the salad. If you make this with fresh crusty bread or the bread has staled a bit but not hardened, the juice from the tomatoes should be enough to tenderize the bread's crusty edges.
• Preheat grill to medium-high and oven to 425 degrees F.
• Using a damp towel, brush mushroom caps to clean. Using a pastry brush, coat the caps with extra-virgin olive oil and grill with lid down or roast about 5 to 6 minutes, turning once, until tender but still firm at center.
• Wring the spinach out in a clean kitchen towel. Separate the spinach with your fingers and combine with artichokes, ricotta cheese, egg yolk, grated garlic, salt and pepper, to taste, and nutmeg.
• Remove mushroom caps from grill.
• To portion-control the filling, divided the stuffing into 4 parts then just split each of those evenly between 2 caps. Sprinkle the caps with Parmigiano and cook 5 to 6 minutes more in the preheated oven to set filling and lightly brown tops.
• Do not seed tomatoes. Chop and place in a salad bowl. Add basil, bread, onions, 1/4 cup EVOO, lots of salt and pepper and toss with your hands to combine.
• Serve 2 caps with a pile of salad alongside, if desired, per person.

SPINACH & ARTICHOKE-STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine oil, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Using a silicone brush, coat mushrooms all over with the oil mixture. Place on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake until the mushrooms are mostly soft, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine spinach and 1 tablespoon water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Drain as much water as possible from the spinach, then transfer to a medium bowl. Add artichokes, cream cheese, Parmesan and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Stir well to combine. Divide the mixture between the mushrooms and bake until hot, 7 to 10 minutes.

PORTOBELLO STUFFED WITH SAUSAGE, SPINACH AND SMOKED MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• Brush sausages and onion slices with olive oil and place on the grill. Cook until browned on all sides.
• Put the sausage and onion into a saute pan, add the wine and cook until the wine is completely reduced. While the wine is reducing, break up the sausage into small pieces. Add the spinach, 1/2 cup of water and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the 2 tablespoons of the basil, 2 tablespoons of the parsley and the cheese and let cool slightly.
• Heat the grill to high.
• Brush the mushroom caps on both sides with the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the mushrooms on the grill, top side down and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the grill and place on a flat surface, cap side down. Fill the mushrooms with the sausage mixture and top each with a few slices of tomato. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper and place on the grill, cap side down, close the cover and cook until the mushroom and filling have heated through, the cheese has melted and the tomatoes are soft, about 5 minutes. Remove to a platter and sprinkle tops with the remaining parsley and basil.
