Stuffed Pepper Served On A Marinated Portobello Recipes

MARINATED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Put the peppers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Roast until the skins are charred in spots and the peppers are tender, 20 to 30 minutes (the Italian peppers may be done before the bell peppers). Remove the peppers to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let the peppers steam so the skins loosen, at least 20 minutes.
• Carefully peel the skins off the peppers, scraping away any stuck bits using a paring knife. Lay the peppers flat on a cutting board and tear them open like a book; remove the stems and scrape away the seeds, then tear the peppers into long strips, about 1 1/2 inches wide. Transfer the strips to a medium bowl.
• Add the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, the vinegar, oregano, basil, garlic and a big pinch of salt to the peppers; toss. Transfer to a small jar and refrigerate at least 3 hours or up to 1 week.

MARINATED AND STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS WITH PARMESAN-HERB BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack 4 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to high.
• Whisk together 1/4 cup of the oil, the vinegar and mustard in a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Dip each mushroom cap in the marinade, turning to coat on all sides. Let the mushrooms sit in the marinade for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and saute until just beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add the squash, zucchini and tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute until beginning to soften, 4 minutes.
• Mix together the panko, Parmesan and parsley in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the mushrooms, cap-side down, until slightly charred, about 3 minutes per side. Wipe out the baking dish with a paper towel and return the mushrooms to the baking dish, cap-side down. Divide the sauteed vegetables among the mushroom caps. Cover the vegetables with the panko mixture, drizzle with a bit of olive oil and place under the broiler until browned, about 2 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

MARINATED ROASTED PORTOBELLOS

Steps:

• Use a spoon to remove the gills from the underside of the mushrooms. Put the mushrooms in a small baking dish.
• Combine the oil, red pepper flakes, sugar, thyme and garlic in a small saucepot and heat until bubbling and aromatic. Pour the warm oil over the mushrooms, add 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss gently to coat. Cover and marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the mushrooms on a baking pan and roast until browned and tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a serving plate and drizzle with the liquid from the pan.

MOZZARELLA-STUFFED GRILLED PORTOBELLOS WITH BALSAMIC MARINADE

Steps:

• Whisk oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, and 1 garlic clove in small bowl for marinade. Using spoon, scrape out gills from mushrooms and place mushrooms on rimmed baking sheet. Brush marinade over both sides of mushrooms, arrange hollow side up, and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Mix panko, next 5 ingredients, and remaining 2 garlic cloves in medium bowl. Drizzle butter and remaining teaspoon vinegar over panko mixture and toss. Divide panko mixture among mushrooms, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges and packing down slightly. Place mushrooms on grill, stuffing side up; cover grill and cook until cheese melts and juices bubble at edges of mushrooms, rearranging mushrooms occasionally for even cooking (do not turn over), about 6 minutes.
• *Panko can be used in any recipe calling for dry (not fresh) breadcrumbs - such as eggplant parmigiana, chicken tenders, or meatloaf. It is available in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets and at Asian markets.

SPICY PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS AND ROASTED RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, combine the oil, pepper flakes, oregano, and garlic. Place the skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until aromatic.
• Add the mushrooms and roasted peppers and cook, stirring, until heated through. Serve immediately with meat, chicken or fish.
• Variation: If making as a vegetarian main dish, add 1/2 bag chopped spinach and 2 scallions, sliced thinly. Serve with couscous or noodles.

MOZZARELLA STUFFED PORTOBELLOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the portabellas in the balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup of olive oil, gray salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the mushrooms on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
• While the mushrooms are cooling mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan, herbs and the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil.
• Place 1 slice (2 if the mushrooms are large) of mozzarella in the cupped side of each mushroom. Distribute the bread and herb mixture evenly over the mushrooms and return to the oven to roast for 5 to 6 minutes or until the mozzarella is molten and the bread and herb topping a nice golden brown. Serve either hot or at room temperature and enjoy.
