I LOVE mushrooms! Using portobellos in places of meat is so fun to do. I've made some tasty portobello mushroom burgers in the last year. I saw this recipe in my Taste of Home Healthy Cooking magazine and knew I had to try them out. The white bean puree has a great flavor and the zucchini mixture is very tasty. You could really do any veggies you wanted in it and really make it your own. I imagine eggplant or parsnips, carrots, and the like would be very good in it.
Ingredients
1 can (15 ounces) white kidney or cannellini beans, rinsed
and drained
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 garlic clove, peeled and halved
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 large portobello mushrooms (4 to 4-1/2 inches), stems
removed
1 medium sweet red pepper, finely chopped
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 medium zucchini, finely chopped
1/2 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese
Directions
In a food processor, combine the beans, 1 tablespoon oil,
water, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover and process until pureed; set
aside.
Place mushrooms on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray.
Broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until mushrooms are
tender.
Meanwhile, in a small nonstick skillet coated with cooking
spray, saute the red pepper, red onion and zucchini in remaining oil until
tender.
Spread about 1/3 cup reserved bean mixture over each
mushroom; top with 1/2 cup vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil 2-3
minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Yield: 4 servings.
