GRILLED PORTOBELLOS WITH PESTO, TOMATOES AND FETA



Grilled Portobellos With Pesto, Tomatoes and Feta image

Many thanks to my dear friend Joanna who served these beautiful and oh-so-flavorful mushroom "steaks" for dinner the other night. I thought I had died and gone to Vegetarian Heaven! We had them as the main course, but they can also be served as an appetizer or on a sandwich/burger. Joanna made her own pesto with fresh basil, toasted pine nuts and extra virgin olive oil. Prepared pesto will work fine, but if you can, I suggest making your own for the best flavor. These are super easy and you can make them ahead of time and refrigerate till ready to grill. Serving size indicates number of mushrooms. As an appetizer, one mushroom per serving will do, but for a main course I would recommend 4 servings of 2 mushrooms each. The recipe originated in Vegetarian Times and I'm posting here for safekeeping.

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/3 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed
1/2 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
4 ounces baby arugula
1 small head fennel, bulb thinly sliced, fronds reserved for garnish

Steps:

  • For the hazelnut pesto: Place the parsley, hazelnuts, Parmesan and garlic in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil and process until combined; transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • For the portobello salad: Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high for direct and indirect grilling. Brush the mushrooms on both sides with 1/4 of the cup olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet and roast until cooked through, approximately 10 minutes on the grill. Remove to a baking sheet and loosely tent, reserving the liquid that the mushrooms have exuded.
  • Whisk together the reserved mushroom liquid, the sherry vinegar, mustard, remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Slice the mushrooms into 1/2-inch thick slices and place in a large bowl with the arugula, fennel, and some salt and pepper. Drizzle some of the vinaigrette down the sides of the bowl and toss the salad to combine. Spoon a pool of pesto on one side of a large platter. Mound the salad on the other side, and garnish everything with fennel fronds.
  • Place the mushrooms on a large platter, place the fennel over the mushrooms and drizzle with the pesto. Arrange the arugula around the platter.

PESTO-STUFFED GRILLED PORTOBELLOS



Pesto-Stuffed Grilled Portobellos image

Pesto-stuffed grilled portobellos make for the perfect summer outdoor meal. It stands alone as vegetarian fare if you serve it with fresh fruit (such as watermelon chunks and blueberries); I love it with cedar-plank grilled salmon as well. You will think you've died and gone to heaven.
