Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for greasing grill pan
4 large portobello mushrooms (about 5 inches in diameter), stemmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 small to medium sized vine ripened tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 ounces fresh water-packed mozzarella, drained, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat).
  • Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over both sides of the mushrooms. Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil on grill pan to prevent mushrooms from sticking. Grill until the mushrooms are heated through and tender, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the extra-virgin olive oil and garlic in a medium bowl to blend. Add the tomatoes, cheese, and basil and toss to coat. Season the tomato salad, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Categories     Roasts

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large red bell pepper
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 c olive oil
4 large portobella mushroom caps, cleaned
4 slice vidalia onion (or other sweet onion)
4 large sesame rolls (kaiser are good)
4 tsp mayonnaise
1 Tbsp roasted garlic (mashed like a paste)
4 slice mozzarella
4 slice tomato
16 fresh basil leaves, divided

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • 2. Place the red bell pepper onto the preheated grill, and grill until the skin is completely charred on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes. Place the pepper into a paper bag, seal the bag, and let the pepper cool. When cooled, remove the charred skin, slice the pepper into quarters, and remove the seeds. Thinly slice the pepper and set aside.
  • 3. Mix salt and pepper into the olive oil in a small bowl. Brush the smooth side of the mushrooms with the seasoned oil, and grill, oiled side down, until the mushrooms show grill marks, about 3 minutes. Brush the gill sides of the mushrooms with more seasoned olive oil, flip the mushrooms, and grill until the mushrooms are softened and juicy, about 3 more minutes. Set the mushrooms aside and keep warm.
  • 4. Lightly grill the slices of onion until softened and lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Spread the rolls out onto the grill to toast, about 1 minute. Mix the mayonnaise and roasted garlic in a bowl.
  • 5. Spread each roll with garlic mayonnaise, and make each sandwich with 1 mushroom cap, 1 ounce sliced mozzarella cheese, 1 slice of tomato, 4 basil leaves, 1 slice of grilled onion, and 1/4 the roasted red pepper slices. Repeat for remaining sandwiches.

Tips:

  • Choose the right portobello mushrooms: Look for portobello mushrooms that are large, firm, and have a deep, dark brown color. Avoid any mushrooms that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Trim the portobello mushrooms: Use a sharp knife to trim the stems off the portobello mushrooms. Then, use a spoon to gently scrape out the gills from the underside of the mushrooms.
  • Marinate the portobello mushrooms: Marinating the mushrooms in a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and herbs will help to tenderize them and add flavor.
  • Grill the portobello mushrooms: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the portobello mushrooms with olive oil and then grill them for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • Top the portobello mushrooms: Once the portobello mushrooms are grilled, top them with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include mozzarella cheese, grilled vegetables, and pesto sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled portobello mushrooms are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are a great way to add some variety to your meals. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of this classic recipe.
