PORTOBELLO PARMESAN

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the dish
3 portobello mushroom caps
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
4 fresh basil leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
4 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
Peanut oil, for frying
4 ounces buffalo mozzarella cheese, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Scrape out the gills of the portobellos with a spoon, then halve the mushrooms horizontally to make 6 thin rounds.
  • Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic; cook 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low, add the tomatoes and basil and cook until the garlic is soft, about 15 more minutes. Transfer to a food processor and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the panko, 1/2 cup parmesan, 1 tablespoon parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl. Whisk the eggs and 2 tablespoons cold water in another bowl. Put the flour in a third bowl.
  • Dredge the mushrooms in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the eggs and then in the panko mixture, pressing to coat both sides. Heat 1/2 inch peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the mushrooms until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  • Spread a layer of the tomato sauce in the prepared baking dish. Add the fried mushrooms, then cover with the remaining tomato sauce. Top with the mozzarella and the remaining 1/2 cup parmesan. Bake until browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.

SHEET-PAN MUSHROOM PARMIGIANA



Sheet-Pan Mushroom Parmigiana image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 ounces cherry or grape tomatoes, halved (1 pint)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 portobello mushrooms, stems removed
3 cups store-bought or homemade marinara sauce
3 cups (12 ounces) shredded low-moisture mozzarella
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup (1/2 ounce) basil leaves, finely chopped, plus more leaves for topping

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.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for greasing the grill pan
4 -6 large portabella mushrooms (or you can use more smaller ones or even sliced)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional if you like a little heat and zing)
1 cup marinara sauce (store bought or homemade)
4 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or you could also use Fontina, Monterey Jack, even goat cheese)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
  • Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over both sides of the mushrooms, coating well. Sprinkle the mushrooms with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes if using, and salt and pepper.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 large garlic clove, pressed
6 large portobello mushrooms, stemmed, gills scraped out
1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
1/2 cup plus 6 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, divided
6 1/3-inch-thick heirloom tomato slices (from 2 very large tomatoes)
7 to 8 ounces Fontina cheese, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Whisk extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and pressed garlic clove in small bowl. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange portobello mushrooms on rimmed baking sheet, gill side up. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon generous tablespoon dressing into each mushroom; swirl to coat. Stir ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil in small bowl to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange tomato slices on plate; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place mushrooms on grill, gill side down. Grill until edges begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes, depending on thickness of mushrooms. Transfer mushrooms to same baking sheet, gill side up. Nestle 1 tomato slice into each mushroom. Divide ricotta cheese mixture atop sliced tomatoes, spreading to cover, about 3 tablespoons per mushroom. Top with Fontina cheese slices, dividing equally. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese over each. Carefully return mushrooms to grill. Cover barbecue and cook until mushrooms are soft and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle remaining chopped fresh basil over. Place mushrooms on plates. Drizzle remaining dressing around mushrooms and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right portobello mushrooms: Look for large, firm mushrooms with intact caps. Avoid any that are cracked or bruised.
  • Clean the mushrooms thoroughly: Use a damp cloth to wipe away any dirt or debris from the mushrooms.
  • Remove the stems: Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the stems from the mushrooms. You can discard the stems or save them for another use, such as in a soup or stew.
  • Brush the mushrooms with olive oil: This will help them to brown evenly in the oven.
  • Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper: Be generous with the seasoning, as the mushrooms will absorb a lot of flavor.
  • Top the mushrooms with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include cheese, breadcrumbs, and vegetables.
  • Bake the mushrooms until they are tender and browned: This will usually take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the mushrooms hot: These are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Portobello mushrooms are a versatile and delicious ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. This recipe for Portobello Parmesan is a classic that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
