PESTO-STUFFED GRILLED PORTOBELLOS



Pesto-Stuffed Grilled Portobellos image

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.

GRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS WITH TOMATOES AND FRESH MOZZARELLA

Great on the grill but you can cook these on the stove and finish them off in the broiler. To avoid watery portobellos, cook the downside facing up first, then turn them so all the moisture cooks away. Minimal effort, maximum dining pleasure.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms: Look for large, firm portobello mushrooms with smooth, evenly colored caps. Avoid any mushrooms that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Clean the mushrooms: Use a damp paper towel to gently wipe the mushrooms clean. Avoid rinsing them under water, as this can make them soggy.
  • Remove the stems: Using a sharp knife, carefully twist and remove the stems from the mushrooms. You can discard the stems or save them for another recipe.
  • Marinate the mushrooms: Marinating the mushrooms in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices helps to infuse them with flavor. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the mushrooms: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the mushrooms with olive oil and grill them for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • Assemble the salad: While the mushrooms are grilling, prepare the salad by combining the arugula, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette in a large bowl. Toss to combine.
  • Serve the salad: Place the grilled portobello mushrooms on top of the salad and serve immediately.
