Roasted Portobellos With Pesto image

Homemade or storebought pesto can be used in this 30-minute recipe that's perfect for meatless Monday (or any day for that matter). Just scrape away the gills of the mushroom with a spoon, toss the caps with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and roast gill-side down for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, fill with pesto and pop them back into the oven for about 10 more minutes. Serve with a pile of rice or a tangle of noodles slicked with butter. There you have it: Satisfying and simple.

PORTOBELLO 'STEAK' AU POIVRE



Portobello 'Steak' au Poivre image

Steak au poivre, a classic French dish of peppercorn-crusted steak with cream sauce, seems like it was meant to be made with mushrooms. Not only do mushrooms sear well, but they're also a friend to the dish's main flavorings of heavy cream, heady spices and warming liquor. For the best results, crisp the mushrooms first in a hot pan, baste them with garlic butter until tender, then let them simmer in the cream sauce so they soak up that richness. Eat with roasted, mashed or fried potatoes, a salad of watercress or another spicy green, and red wine, of course.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed with a spoon
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed
3 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt
1 shallot, finely chopped
1/4 cup Cognac or another brandy
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Brush the mushrooms all over with olive oil. Sprinkle the pepper evenly over the gill sides (about 1/2 teaspoon per mushroom). Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high, then add the mushrooms gill side up and sear until the underside is browned and the gill side looks wet, 3 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook until golden and the pepper is fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Flip the mushrooms so they're gill side up, then add the butter and garlic, and season with salt. While stirring the garlic to keep it from scorching, tilt the skillet to spoon up the melting butter and baste the mushrooms until tender, 2 to 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate, leaving the butter in the skillet.
  • Add the shallot and stir until softened, 2 to 4 minutes, adding a little more butter if the pan is dry. Stand back, and carefully add the Cognac. (It might flame.) Stir until the Cognac has nearly evaporated. Add the heavy cream and mustard, season with salt, and stir to combine. Return the mushrooms to the pan gill side down, and cook until the cream is thickened and the color of a latte, 2 to 4 minutes. Eat the mushrooms with a drizzle of the sauce.
