Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 large portabella mushrooms (stems removed)
olive oil
salt
2 lbs Italian sausages (casings removed)
3 green onions (very finely chopped) or 3 minced yellow onions
2 -4 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 pinch dried basil or 2 teaspoons fresh basil, chopped
1 dash Tabasco sauce or 1 dash louisiana hot sauce
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic, to taste or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups garlic-flavored croutons (ground fine, measure 2 cups after grinding)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 eggs, lightly beaten
black pepper
grated mozzarella cheese (use any amount desired)

Steps:

  • Lightly brush olive oil on both sides of the potobello mushroom caps then sprinkle the inside lightly with salt (this is optional but I most always do!).
  • In a skillet brown the sausage meat with green onions crumbling into very small pieces until browned; drain any fat then cool.
  • In a medium bowl beat eggs with milk, fresh parsley, basil, fresh garlic, cayenne pepper or hot sauce until well combined.
  • Add in the Parmesan cheese and the ground croutons starting with about 1-1/2 cups ground croutons, you might have to add in more later; mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
  • Add in the cooked sausage/onion mixture; mix well (the mixture should be wet but still firm enough to hold together if the mixture is too soft add in a small amount more of the croutons at a time just until the mixture binds together).
  • Season mixture with black pepper to taste.
  • Spoon the sausage mixture evenly between the portobella mushroom tops.
  • Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  • Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the tops with grated mozzeralla cheese.
  • Delicious!

QUESO FUNDIDO CON HONGOS Y CHILE CHIPOTLE (MOZZARELLA CASSEROLE WITH MUSHROOMS AND SMOKY CHIPOTLE CHILE)



Queso Fundido con Hongos y Chile Chipotle (Mozzarella Casserole with Mushrooms and Smoky Chipotle Chile) image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 12 soft tacos, serving 6 as an

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, preferably extra-virgin
1 large red onion, sliced
6 to 8 ounces full-flavored mushrooms such as shiitakes, oysters or practically any wild variety, stemmed (discard woody stems or chop them finely) and sliced (you'll have about 2 generous cups)
2 to 3 canned chipotle chiles, removed from the canning sauce, seeded and thinly sliced
Salt
12 corn tortillas, the fresher the better (store-bought are okay, though homemade will really shine here)
8 ounces mozzarella, preferably whole milk (but not "fresh" mozzarella which will not melt) or Mexican quesillo cheese, shredded
A generous 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 generous teaspoon chopped fresh epazote leaves
A little fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet (preferably non-stick), heat the oil over medium-high. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softening and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and stir nearly constantly until they have softened and any juice they release has evaporated, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in the sliced chile, then taste and season with salt, usually about 1/4 teaspoon. Transfer the mixture to a 9- or 10-inch shallow baking dish, Mexican cazuela or pie plate. Very lightly dampen a clean kitchen towel. Check the tortillas to make sure none are stuck together. Wrap them in the towel, then in foil, sealing the edges tightly. Place in the oven and set the timer for 7 minutes. When the timer goes off, stir the shredded cheese into the warm mushroom mixture. Set in the oven alongside the tortillas and bake until the cheese is just melted, about 5 more minutes. Sprinkle with the thyme or epazote and black pepper and serve without a moment's hesitation, accompanied by the warm tortillas.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large firm portabella mushroom caps, stems and gills removed
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
16 small fresh mozzarella balls or 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup pimento strips or 1/4 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil

  • Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve.

DELICIOUS PENNE VODKA WITH FRESH MUSHROOMS, MOZZARELLA, OLIVES,



Delicious Penne Vodka With Fresh Mushrooms, Mozzarella, Olives, image

This is another one of my favorite "go to" simple meals. I threw this together for the first time over 10 years ago and it's been a constant ever since. It's hearty and rustic and is also great for a quickie vegetarian dish or during Lent. I've served this on Holidays as well. Goes great with a nice dinner salad and of course, a loaf of hot, crusty garlic bread! Oh, and a nice glass of Chianti for those who are interested.

PIZZA WITH MUSHROOMS, MOZZARELLA, AND TRUFFLE



Pizza With Mushrooms, Mozzarella, and Truffle image

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds Pizza Dough
1 pound mushrooms, wild and regular
6 tablespoons EVOO
2 tablespoons shallot (about1)
2 tablespoons thyme
1/4 cup cognac or brandy
2 teaspoons soy sauce
6 cloves garlic
1 pound mozzarella, fresh

Steps:

  • Divide dough into 4 equal parts and place each in a covered quart-sized deli container or in a zipper-lock freezer bag. Allow to rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours before baking. Meanwhile, make mushroom mixture.
  • Place a large plate in the freezer. Place half the mushrooms in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped, about 10 short pulses, scraping down sides and redistributing mushrooms with a spatula as necessary. Transfer to a bowl. Thinly slice remaining mushrooms and set aside until assembling pizzas.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chopped mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have exuded all their liquid and start to sizzle, about 8 minutes. Continue cooking until mushrooms begin to brown and leave browned bits stuck to bottom of pan, about 4 minutes longer. Add shallot and minced thyme and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Add cognac or brandy. Scrape bottom of skillet with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to release browned bits. Continue to cook until brandy is nearly dry, about 4 minutes. Add soy sauce and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper and transfer mixture to the chilled plate. Spread into a thin, even layer and refrigerate until fully cooled, about 10 minutes.
  • Adjust oven rack to 6 inches under broiler and place stone or steel on rack. Preheat oven to highest possible temperature (500 or 550°F) for at least 45 minutes. Alternatively, use a KettlePizza and Baking Steel grill insert on an outdoor grill.
  • When ready to bake, turn one dough ball out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press out dough into a rough 8-inch circle, leaving the outer 1 inch higher than the center. Gently stretch dough into a 10- to 12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick, by draping over knuckles and gently stretching. Transfer to floured wooden pizza peel.
  • Preheat broiler to high. Dollop 1/4 of mushroom mixture over the surface of the pizza, followed by 1/4 of mozzarella pieces. Scatter 1/4 of sliced mushrooms over pizza and scatter with 1/4 of whole thyme leaves and 1/4 of sliced garlic. Season with salt and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Transfer pizza to hot stone or steel and broil, rotating regularly for even cooking, until edges are puffed and lightly charred and bottom is crisp, 3 to 6 minutes total. Retrieve pizza with a metal peel and transfer to a cutting board. Allow to rest 1 minute. Meanwhile, switch oven back to 550°F to reheat stone for remaining pizzas.
  • Drizzle with truffle oil (if using) and serve immediately.
