PESTO-STUFFED GRILLED PORTOBELLOS
Pesto-stuffed grilled portobellos make for the perfect summer outdoor meal. It stands alone as vegetarian fare if you serve it with fresh fruit (such as watermelon chunks and blueberries); I love it with cedar-plank grilled salmon as well. You will think you've died and gone to heaven.

Steps:
- Remove stems from mushrooms and finely chop stems.

- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Brush the olive oil mixture over the top each mushroom and place, top-side up, on a grilling pan. Mix pesto and pine nuts with the mushroom stem mixture together in a bowl; spoon into each mushroom. Sprinkle Italian cheese blend over the filling.
- Grill mushrooms on the preheated grill until edges are blackened and stuffing is bubbling, about 10 minutes.

ROASTED PORTOBELLOS WITH PESTO
Homemade or storebought pesto can be used in this 30-minute recipe that's perfect for meatless Monday (or any day for that matter). Just scrape away the gills of the mushroom with a spoon, toss the caps with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and roast gill-side down for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, fill with pesto and pop them back into the oven for about 10 more minutes. Serve with a pile of rice or a tangle of noodles slicked with butter. There you have it: Satisfying and simple.

Place, rounded side down, on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are beginning to soften and throw off liquid.

Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms. Portobello, cremini, and shiitake mushrooms are all great choices for grilling. They are firm enough to hold their shape on the grill and have a meaty flavor.
- Clean the mushrooms well. Use a damp paper towel to wipe away any dirt or debris from the mushrooms.
- Marinate the mushrooms. This is a great way to add flavor to the mushrooms and help them stay moist on the grill. You can use a simple olive oil and garlic marinade, or get creative with herbs, spices, and citrus juices.
- Grill the mushrooms over medium-high heat. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
- Cook the mushrooms until they are tender and slightly charred. This will usually take about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Serve the mushrooms immediately. They can be served as a side dish or appetizer, or used in tacos, sandwiches, or salads.
Conclusion:
Grilled mushrooms are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With their meaty flavor and smoky aroma, they are sure to be a hit at your next cookout. So next time you're firing up the grill, don't forget to add some mushrooms to the menu!
