Yield Serves 4 as a hearty first course or light main course

Number Of Ingredients 22

For Sherry vinaigrette
1/3 cup medium-dry Sherry
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons finely chopped mixed fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, thyme, sage, and chives
4 large portabella mushrooms (each 5 to 6 inches in diameter; about 1 pound total)
For stuffing
1 medium white onion
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 1/2 cups fine fresh bread crumbs
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 3 ounces)
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup medium-dry Sherry
6 ounces mesclun (about 2 quarts loosely packed)
Garnish: Parmesan curls, shaved with a vegetable peeler from a piece of Parmesan at room temperature

Steps:

  • Make vinaigrette:
  • In a very small saucepan boil Sherry until reduced by about half and let cool. In a bowl whisk together Sherry, balsamic vinegar, garlic, shallot, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste and add oils in a stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in herbs and reserve 1/4 cup vinaigrette for dressing mesclun. Transfer remaining vinaigrette to a large sealable plastic bag.
  • Discard stems from mushrooms. Add mushrooms to bag and seal, pressing out excess air. Put bag in a bowl. Marinate mushrooms, chilled, turning bag once or twice, at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.

  • Make stuffing:
  • Finely chop onion and cut prosciutto into julienne strips. In a skillet cook onion in butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until soft and transfer to a bowl. Stir in prosciutto and remaining stuffing ingredients and salt and pepper to taste until combined well.
  • Remove mushrooms from bag, letting excess vinaigrette drip off, and arrange mushrooms, gill sides up, in a 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking pan. Divide stuffing among mushrooms and press gently and evenly into caps. Pour water and Sherry around mushrooms and bake in middle of oven 20 to 25 minutes, or until stuffing is golden brown.
  • In a bowl toss mesclun with reserved vinaigrette and salt and pepper to taste and divide among 4 plates. Transfer mushrooms with a slotted spatula to a cutting board and cut each crosswise into 4 or 5 pieces. Transfer a sliced mushroom to each plate and garnish with Parmesan curls.

A main course and a salad in one: polenta, arugula, and portobellos with a warm balsamic sauce.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 portobello mushrooms (about 1 pound), stems and caps separated, halved if very large
2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1/2 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken or vegetable stock
12 pieces set polenta (about 1/2 batch) Basic Polenta (Soft or Set), cut into 1-inch-thick rectangles or triangles
2 cups arugula (2 ounces)
8 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, shaved

Steps:

  • Toss portobellos with garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, vinegar, and 1/4 cup oil in a large bowl. Let stand at room temperature, tossing occasionally, for 1 hour.
  • Transfer portobellos to a plate. Pour marinade into a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 1 minute. Add stock. Raise heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Stir in remaining tablespoon oil, and remove from heat.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds.) Lightly brush top and bottom of polenta with oil, and place in center of grill. Cook, flipping once, until polenta is marked, crisp, and no longer sticks to grill, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Meanwhile, place portobellos on cooler part of grill, and cook, turning frequently to avoid burning, until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Place arugula on a platter, and arrange polenta and portobellos on top. Drizzle about half the sauce over portobellos. Top with Parmigiano-Reggiano. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms. Look for large, firm portobello mushrooms with intact stems. Avoid mushrooms that are bruised or slimy.
  • Clean the mushrooms thoroughly. Wipe the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt or debris. You can also rinse the mushrooms under cold water, but be sure to pat them dry before cooking.
  • Cook the mushrooms over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from becoming tough and rubbery.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're cooking multiple mushrooms, be sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
  • Season the mushrooms with your favorite herbs and spices. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika are all good options.
  • Serve the mushrooms immediately. They're best enjoyed when they're hot and juicy.
