Apparently, I’m in a vegetarian mood this week. Last night, it was a Tomato Feta Panzanella Salad, and tonight it’s stuffed portobello mushrooms.
Now, if you know me, you know I don’t love the texture of mushrooms (cooked or raw, any variety). But I absolutely love the flavor. Trevor could live on mushrooms – that’s how much he likes them. While I don’t make them often, I try to make them now-and-again so he gets his fill. And these certainly fit the bill.
So tonight, I made three different kinds of stuffed mushrooms – 1. cannellini bean, feta and basil, 2. tomato, feta & basil, and 3. garlic and feta. All of them were marinated in am olive oil and balsamic marinade and all of them were absolutely delicious.
One note fo those new to portobello mushrooms – scoop out the gills (like in the picture below). You can also take the stem out but I prefer to keep it in and eat around it.
