Tomato and Olive Stuffed Portobello Caps image

Per Eating Well, "Portobello caps make excellent mini casseroles. Here, they hold a tomato, cheese and olive stuffing that grills up to a smoky perfection. Serve them with whole-wheat couscous and a mixed green salad for an easy meal." This is a low calorie, vegetarian main dish. NOTE: after having made this delicious dish, I have made a couple changes to the original recipe. I served mine atop spinach.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cup chopped plum tomato
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup chopped kalamata olive
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
4 portobello mushroom caps, 5 inches wide

Steps:

  • Combine tomatoes, cheese, olives, garlic, 1 teaspoon oil, rosemary and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Preheat grill to medium.
  • Discard mushroom stems. Remove brown gills from the undersides of the caps using a grapefruit spoon; discard gills.
  • Brush the remaining 1 teaspoon oil over both sides of the caps.
  • Oil a grill rack or grill pan. Place the caps on the rack, stem sides down, cover and grill until soft, about 3-5 minutes per side (depending on the thickness of the mushroom).
  • Remove from the grill and fill with the tomato mixture. Return to the grill, cover, and cook until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes more.
