GRILLED PORTOBELLOS WITH PESTO, TOMATOES AND FETA



Grilled Portobellos With Pesto, Tomatoes and Feta image

Many thanks to my dear friend Joanna who served these beautiful and oh-so-flavorful mushroom "steaks" for dinner the other night. I thought I had died and gone to Vegetarian Heaven! We had them as the main course, but they can also be served as an appetizer or on a sandwich/burger. Joanna made her own pesto with fresh basil, toasted pine nuts and extra virgin olive oil. Prepared pesto will work fine, but if you can, I suggest making your own for the best flavor. These are super easy and you can make them ahead of time and refrigerate till ready to grill. Serving size indicates number of mushrooms. As an appetizer, one mushroom per serving will do, but for a main course I would recommend 4 servings of 2 mushrooms each. The recipe originated in Vegetarian Times and I'm posting here for safekeeping.

PESTO-STUFFED PORTOBELLO BURGERS



Pesto-Stuffed Portobello Burgers image

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, easy, for two, lunch, quick, weekday, burgers, main course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large portobello mushrooms (about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (1 tablespoon for the pan)
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tablespoons finely chopped basil
4 heaped tablespoons pesto
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
Hamburger buns for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Carefully remove the stems from the portobellos and scoop out the gills using a spoon. In a large bowl, toss the portobellos with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, crushed garlic and chopped basil. Marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Heat remaining oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the portobellos (in batches if necessary), rounded side down, and cook 7 minutes. Flip the mushrooms over and cook another 5 to 7 minutes. The mushrooms should be releasing liquid. Flip over again so the cavity is up, and spread a heaped tablespoon of pesto in each cavity. Cook another 2 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and juicy and the pesto is warm. The mushrooms will release more liquid into the pan, then the liquid will evaporate. Serve on hamburger buns if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose large portobello mushrooms: They should be about 4 inches in diameter so that they can hold the stuffing.
  • Remove the stems and gills: This will help the mushrooms cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Marinate the mushrooms: This will help them absorb flavor and stay moist during grilling.
  • Use a flavorful pesto: This is the key to making these mushrooms delicious. You can use a store-bought pesto or make your own.
  • Don't overstuff the mushrooms: You want to be able to close them easily without the stuffing spilling out.
  • Grill the mushrooms over medium heat: This will help them cook through without burning.
  • Serve the mushrooms immediately: They're best when they're hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Pesto stuffed grilled portobello mushrooms are a delicious and easy-to-make vegetarian dish. They're perfect for a summer cookout or a light meal any time of year. With their flavorful pesto filling and succulent texture, these mushrooms are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy dish, give this recipe a try!
