**Portobello Mushrooms with Thyme and Parmesan Cheese: A Savory Treat for Mushroom Lovers**
Portobello mushrooms, known for their meaty texture and rich flavor, take center stage in this delectable dish. Stuffed with a savory mixture of thyme, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, these mushrooms are roasted to perfection, resulting in a tender and flavorful treat. Accompanying the portobello mushrooms are two equally enticing recipes: a creamy mushroom sauce and a refreshing arugula salad. The mushroom sauce, made with sautéed mushrooms, onions, and a touch of white wine, adds a luscious, umami-rich layer to the dish. The arugula salad, with its peppery bite and tangy lemon-tahini dressing, provides a light and refreshing contrast to the hearty mushrooms. Together, these recipes create a complete and satisfying meal that showcases the versatility and deliciousness of portobello mushrooms.
PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS WITH THYME AND PARMESAN CHEESE
This is a Scandinavian recipe adapted from Tina Nordstrom's recipes in New Scandinavian Cooking. I love mushrooms and this is so good with the thyme and parmesan! Great as a side dish and it's also good on toast or with pasta. Enjoy!

SHEET-PAN MUSHROOM PARMIGIANA
This smart weeknight dinner offers all the comforting flavors of a classic Parmigiana, but with minimal work. Earthy portobello mushrooms are used here, offering a perfect cradle for the red sauce and creamy mozzarella. Use good quality store-bought marinara sauce (vodka, arrabiata or amatriciana), a much-underrated pantry item that can turn around a meal quickly. This flexible recipe can be scaled up or down without too much fuss. It accounts for two portobello mushrooms per person, but if you're serving them with pasta or a salad, you could reduce to one each. The basil-scented bread crumbs finish the mushrooms with a lovely, herbaceous crunch. Extra bread crumbs keep well in an airtight container and are wonderful for topping pasta, salads, soups and roasted vegetables.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange the cherry tomatoes on a sheet pan, along with half the garlic, and drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and toss to coat the tomatoes.
- To the sheet pan, add the mushroom caps in between the tomatoes, gill side up, and drizzle each generously with olive oil. (Don't skimp here, as the olive oil will add lots of rich flavor.) Scatter the mushrooms with the remaining garlic, and season each mushroom with salt and black pepper. Fill each mushroom with marinara sauce, and top with cheese. Place in the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly and golden.
- Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the bread crumbs, basil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. Remove from heat immediately and transfer to a bowl or jar.
- To serve, transfer mushrooms to serving plates, along with a few of the roasted cherry tomatoes. Top each mushroom with the basil bread crumbs and scatter with a few basil leaves.
PARMESAN CRUSTED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS WITH WHITE TRUFFLE OIL
Steps:
- Heat grill to medium-low. Combine Parmesan, thyme and salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Brush mushrooms with oil on both sides and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the mushrooms, cap side down and cook until golden, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn over and continue grilling until soft, about 5 to 6 minutes longer. When the mushrooms are cooked through, carefully divide the cheese mixture over the top of the mushrooms. Close the cover of the grill and cook until the cheese has melted. Remove from the grill and drizzle each mushroom with a teaspoon of white truffle oil.
- In a saute pan, drizzle olive oil and saute the oyster mushrooms until golden brown and tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place on top of portobellos and serve.
PASTA WITH PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS
The key to giving a portobello (or any mushroom) dense texture is to cook it slowly in oil so that most of its moisture is driven out. My biggest successes came in taking whole mushrooms and cooking them, covered, for as long as two hours. Nearly as good, however, and more than twice as fast, is to cut up the mushrooms and cook them in oil, uncovered, for 30 to 45 minutes. At that point, you not only have fabulous mushrooms, which you can use in a pasta sauce, as I do here, or to top salads or stir into rice dishes, but you also have very good-flavored oil. To further improve the mushrooms' flavor, I like to use the trick popularized by Marcella Hazan: add a few reconstituted dried porcini to the portobellos.

Steps:
- Trim hard parts from mushrooms and discard. Rinse mushrooms quickly to remove grit; cut caps into slices and stems into small chunks. Combine in a medium skillet with 1 clove garlic (crushed and peeled), thyme, olive oil and some salt and pepper. Cook over sufficiently low heat so that mixture bubbles but mushrooms do not brown. Continue to cook, stirring infrequently, until they are quite shrunken in size and appear firm, 30 to 45 minutes. (At this point, you can pause for several hours before resuming cooking.) If you are using porcinis, soak them in hot water to cover for a few minutes so that they soften.
- Set a large pot of water to boil for pasta and salt it. Mince remaining garlic. Turn heat under oil to medium, and add garlic to the portobellos along with the drained porcinis. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic begins to color. Add tomatoes and raise heat to medium high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they break up and become saucy, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta until it is tender but not mushy. Taste sauce and adjust its seasoning. When pasta is done, drain it, toss with sauce, top with Parmesan, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose large, meaty portobello mushrooms for this recipe. They should be about 4 inches in diameter.
- To clean the mushrooms, wipe them gently with a damp paper towel. Do not rinse them under water, as this will make them soggy.
- If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute white wine vinegar or lemon juice.
- Be careful not to overcook the mushrooms. They should be cooked through but still tender.
- Serve the mushrooms immediately, while they are hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
Portobello mushrooms with thyme and parmesan cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a vegetarian or vegan meal. The mushrooms are packed with flavor and the thyme and parmesan cheese add a touch of elegance. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it's also a healthy and satisfying meal.
