Best Roasted Portobello Red Pepper And Arugula Salad For One Recipes

ROASTED PORTOBELLO, RED PEPPER, ARUGULA AND MOZZARELLA GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Cut off the stem inside the portobellos. With a spoon, scrape out and discard the dark gills. Place the mushrooms in a shallow pan, tops down. Pour 2 tablespoons of the dressing in each mushroom cavity and turn them over a few times so all sides are coated with the marinade.
• Heat the oven to 350° F. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high flame. Add a tablespoon of oil and swirl the pan so the oil coats the bottom of the pan with a thin film. Slip the mushrooms into the pan, tops down. Sear 5 minutes, or until they take on a rich golden tan. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Turn the mushrooms so the seared side is up. Place the skillet in the oven and roast 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer the mushrooms to a plate. Set aside the skillet, keeping the marinade and roasting juices in the pan.
• Slice the bread 1/2 inch thick. You'll need 4 (~8 x 3-inch) slices for this recipe. Cut the red pepper into 4 (2 ½ inch-wide) portions.
• Build the sandwiches. Arrange two slices of bread, each with 2 slices of mozzarella cheese. Top each slice of bread with 2 roasted mushrooms followed by 2 portions of red pepper. Scrunch as much arugula as you can manage over the peppers, and then top with the remaining cheese and bread.
• Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium-high flame. Melt a dollop of butter into the oil and vinegar marinade/mushroom juices remaining in the pan.
• Place the sandwiches in the skillet, pressing gently on the tops for a minute or so. Cook 3 or 4 minutes, until golden. Carefully flip the sandwich to the other side and cook another 3 or so minutes, until the cheese melts and the bread is crispy golden.
• Cut in half and serve immediately.

WILTED ARUGULA AND PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in red pepper flakes and chopped mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are coated with oil and begin to soften.
• Pour in sherry and chicken broth. Simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Add arugula and cook until wilted, about one minute. Season with black pepper. Serve immediately.

SWEET CORN AND ROASTED RED PEPPER ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Toss the arugula in a large bowl with the corn, red peppers and vinaigrette. Top with the almonds and serve.

ROASTED RED PEPPERS AND PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

• Lightly spray the mushrooms with olive oil spray. Lightly spray a large indoor grill pan or grill rack with olive oil spray. Heat the pan for several minutes over medium-high heat or preheat the grill on medium high.
• Grill the mushrooms for about 30 minutes, or until juicy. (The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the mushrooms. If you cook them too long, they will dry out.) Transfer to a cutting board. Slice to the desired thickness.
• In a large bowl, stir together the mushrooms and roasted peppers.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over the mushroom mixture. Stir gently. Serve at room temperature.

ARUGULA, MOZZARELLA, ROASTED RED PEPPER AND MINT SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk the olive oil, mayo, vinegar, Dijon, shallot, lemon juice and some salt and pepper together in a small bowl.
• Turn a gas burner on medium-high and cook the whole red pepper directly on the flame, turning occasionally, until charred all over, about 10 minutes. Put the pepper in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a dish towel. Let stand for 15 minutes to steam, then use the back of a paring knife to remove the skin from the pepper. Remove the stem and seeds, then cut the pepper into thin strips.
• Toss the arugula and mint together in a wide shallow bowl or platter, then arrange the mozzarella and peppers on top. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and serve.
