PORTOBELLO WELLINGTON RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Portobello Wellington Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by kayjayjohnson

Number Of Ingredients 17

egg wash:
4 medium-sized portobello mushrooms, washed and gills scraped out
4 cups crimini mushrooms, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 large cups tender baby spinach
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, minced and divided
4 garlic cloves, minced and divided
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 tablespoon seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup freshly grated gruyere cheese
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
1 sheet of Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry dough (or two, depending on how big your portobello mushrooms are)
1 egg whisked together with 1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly brush the portobello mushrooms with olive oil and dust lightly with kosher salt. Bake the portobello mushrooms for 15 minutes cap side up and 10 minutes cap side down. Once done baking place mushrooms on a paper towel so all the extra moisture will be absorbed. Set aside. In a large skillet, saute 1 shallot and 2 minced cloves of garlic in olive oil until translucent. Add the baby spinach leaves. Stir to coat the spinach and lightly salt and pepper to taste, once the spinach looks like it is wilting, add the balsamic vinegar. Once the leaves are wilted, remove from skillet and place contents into a bowl and set aside. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and saute 2 minced shallots and 2 minced garlic cloves. After about 1 minute, add in the chopped mushrooms and lightly season with salt and pepper and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Continue to saute the mushrooms on medium heat until all of the moisture is cooked out and the mushrooms are soft. Remove from heat, add the mushrooms to the spinach mixture. Mix together and let cool. Once mixture is cooled toss in the bread crumbs, toasted pine nuts and Gruyere cheese. Mix well. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of the puff pastry. Cut into 4 equal pieces (if you have really large portobello mushrooms then you might need to use the extra sheet of puff pastry). Equally fill each portobello mushroom cap with the spinach and mushroom mixture. Place one piece of puff pastry over a filled portobello mushroom. Gently turn the mushroom over so the puff pastry is now on your working surface and the mushroom is upside down. Lightly brush the egg wash around the outer edges of the puff pastry. Place the opposite corners of the puff pastry to wrap around the portobello and then bring the other two corners up. Gently bring the sides up to completely cover the mushroom. Once all is secure, place the seamed side down onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Lightly brush the top of the wellington with a little bit of egg wash, lightly score the top and dust a little bit of salt and pepper on top. Bake the wellingtons for about 25-30 minutes or until the puff pastry is nice and golden brown. Serve immediately. **Notes:** If you want to omit the portobello mushroom then just fill each square with equal parts crimini mushroom/spinach and Gruyere filling. Brush the egg wash on the outer parameters of the puff pastry and fold opposite corners together to make a triangle pocket. Bake as directed and serve with a green salad.

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.

SPINACH PESTO PASTA WITH PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS OR BACON



Spinach Pesto Pasta with Portobello Mushrooms or Bacon image

Wonderful for winter, and unbelievably good over pasta, then topped with portobello mushrooms or bacon. Please everyone in the house with this flexible veggie or carnie recipe.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 pound whole wheat pasta (just plain regular white pasta will work great too)
1/2 cup walnuts
1 - 2 cloves garlic (chopped (Two for a very strong garlic taste - one I find yummy, but then I love garlic!))
1 1/4 cups spinach
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Plus
I'm trying something new here and giving you three options - going all carnivore, going all vegetarian, or doing half and half, aka: Veggies and Carnies Living Together! We'll see how it works.
Two portobello mushrooms
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil + 2 teaspoons for cooking
Salt and pepper to taste
-or-
Four slices bacon
-or-
Two slices bacon
One portobello mushroom
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil + 1 teaspoon for cooking
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta according to package directions.
  • While the pasta is boiling, make the spinach pesto: In a food processor (or a blender in a pinch), pulse the spinach, garlic, walnuts, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. Don't pulse it to a paste - leave it a little chunky - some texture is good.
  • Okay, now pick your track! Are you going all veggie, all carnie, or a split between the two?

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM WELLINGTON



Portobello Mushroom Wellington image

This is a fine Christmas Day vegetarian dish, a serious centerpiece packed with rich flavor. The recipe may look a bit epic upon first glance, but the sauce and caramelized onions can be made in advance.

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 34

For the Wellington:
8 large portobello mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, diced
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
100g (3 ½ ounces) spinach
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, grated
1 tablespoon Marsala
3 egg yolks, beaten
320g (about 11 oz.) ready-rolled puff pastry sheet
1 teaspoon black onion seeds
For the caramelized onions:
100g (1/2 cup) butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 white onions, sliced
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 tablespoon Marsala
For the pancakes:
3 eggs
100g (about ¾ cup) all-purpose flour
300ml (1 ¼ cups) whole milk
1 teaspoon chopped rosemary
Sunflower oil, for frying
For the sauce:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, diced
2 garlic cloves, diced
1 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves
50ml (about 1/4 cup) dry sherry (Manzanilla or Fino)
200ml (about 3/4 cup) vegetable stock
250ml (1 cup) heavy cream
To serve:
Steamed broccolini and kale

Steps:

  • Wipe the mushrooms with a piece of damp paper towel to remove dirt and grit; twist out and discard the stalks. Place in a large roasting tray with the garlic, thyme, Marsala, oil and salt and pepper. Rub each mushroom with the garlicky oil and cover the tray with tin foil. Place in an oven heated to 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes, until the mushrooms have reduced in size and are soft throughout. Remove the foil, drain away the cooking liquid and set the tray on a cool surface while you prepare the rest of the Wellington.
  • For the onions, melt the butter with the oil in a medium frying pan over a medium heat. When all the butter has melted, add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring regularly, until the onions turn soft and translucent. Add the thyme, garlic and Marsala to the pan and continue to cook for a further 15 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes until the onions are golden and caramelized all over. Remove the onions from the pan to a plate lined with paper towels to drain away the excess oil and butter. Leave to cool completely.
  • Next, make the pancakes. Whisk the eggs with the flour in a large mixing bowl, then slowly pour in the milk, whisking all the time until no lumps are visible. Add the chopped rosemary and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 10 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface of the batter.
  • Warm a 26 cm. (10 in.) non-stick frying pan with a splash of sunflower oil over a medium-high heat. Pour half a ladle of the pancake batter into the pan and swirl to evenly coat the base.
  • Cook each pancake for a minute on each side, until lightly golden, then flip and cook the other side. The mixture should produce 6-8 thin pancakes.
  • Cook the spinach for a minute with a pinch of salt and a grating of nutmeg in a frying pan until bright green and just wilted. Squeeze out as much moisture as you can through a sieve, then dry on kitchen paper.
  • Lay out a 30cm (12 in.) piece of plastic wrap on a clean work surface, then lay 4 cooled pancakes alongside each other on the plastic wrap (you can use any extra when making the Wellington), ensuring a generous amount of overlap so that there is a continuous length down the middle of the plastic wrap. Brush the pancake all over with some of the egg yolk, then arrange the spinach down the middle of the pancakes, leaving a couple of centimeters at each end without spinach.
  • Place the mushrooms on top of the spinach, placing one on top of the other, giving four layers of two down the center. Top the mushrooms with the caramelized onion mixture, then use the plastic wrap to lift the pancake over the filling on either side. Fold over the ends and continue rolling until you have a tight cylinder shape. If there are any gaps, use the extra pancakes to patch up, brushing with egg yolk as you go. Wrap the pancake tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  • Roll out the sheet of puff pastry and brush with egg yolk. Remove the chilled pancake cylinder from the fridge and unwrap the cling film. Place in the middle of the puff pastry sheet and fold the pastry over the filled pancake to encase it completely. Crimp the sides of the pastry and brush with egg yolk all over. Scatter over the black onion seeds and cook in an oven heated to 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes, until dark golden all over.
  • While the Wellington is cooking, make the sauce. Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over a medium heat, then add the shallots and garlic with a pinch of salt and cook for 5 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add the thyme and dry sherry and bring to the boil. Reduce for 3 minutes, then add the stock. Continue to cook until the liquid has reduced by half, then add the heavy cream and turn the heat to low. Cook for 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the Wellington with the tarragon cream sauce in a jug for pouring over and steamed broccolini and kale on the side.

PORTOBELLO WELLINGTON WITH RED WINE GRAVY



Portobello Wellington with Red Wine Gravy image

Lou Oates didn't grow up celebrating Thanksgiving - she was born in London - but she got a crash course in the holiday when she came to the United States almost 15 years ago to work as a vegan-recipe developer for Whole Foods. Since then she has hosted big holiday feasts for her American husband and friends with dishes like this portobello Wellington based on a recipe her dad used to make. "Vegan entrées can get complicated, and I didn't want to create a dish that would take six hours," she says. "Ultimately people just want a nice vehicle for gravy!"

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 8 serving

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 cups diced peeled butternut squash
Kosher salt
12 sprigs thyme
8 ounces maitake mushrooms
7 sprigs rosemary
1/3 cup hazelnuts, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 cups baby spinach
4 large portobello mushroom caps, gills removed
Freshly ground pepper
1 17-ounce package frozen vegan puff pastry (such as Aussie Bakery), thawed
1 tablespoon egg replacer (such as Bob's Red Mill), beaten with 3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 shallots, finely diced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup low-sodium vegetable stock
1 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons tamari
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the Wellington: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion to coat. Spread evenly in the pan, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, 12 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
  • Spread the butternut squash on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and gently toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and lay 5 thyme sprigs on top. Bake until the squash is tender and starting to caramelize, about 15 minutes.
  • Gently pull apart the maitake mushrooms into small pieces and place in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt and gently toss to coat. Spread in an even layer on a separate parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with 5 thyme sprigs and 5 rosemary sprigs and bake 15 minutes. When the vegetables are cool to the touch, gently remove the herb sprigs and discard.
  • Toast the hazelnuts on a separate baking sheet until fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes. (Be careful not to burn the nuts.)
  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened. Add the spinach, season with salt and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool slightly, then gently squeeze out any liquid over the sink.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the portobello mushroom caps and sauté until they soften and release their liquid, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Gently press to remove any excess liquid.
  • Chop the leaves from the remaining 2 thyme sprigs and 2 rosemary sprigs. In a medium bowl, mix the caramelized onions, butternut squash, spinach, hazelnuts, maitakes, chopped herbs and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Mix well with a spoon or your hands.
  • Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Unfold the puff pastry on the counter. Spread the vegetable mixture on the pastry in an even layer, leaving a 2-inch border on one short side. (You will have some of the vegetable mixture left over.) On the short side opposite the clean border, arrange the portobello caps dome-side up in a line, about 2 inches in from the edge, overlapping if necessary. Top the mushrooms with the rest of the vegetable mixture.
  • Gently roll up the puff pastry tightly, starting at the side with the portobellos and pushing in any filling that falls out. Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently score a crosshatch pattern into the top of the pastry with a sharp knife; brush with the vegan egg wash. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the gravy: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots, reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring, until they start to caramelize, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, until light golden brown, about 4 minutes. Slowly add the vegetable stock and red wine, whisking constantly so that no lumps remain. Increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring, until the gravy thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tamari and sugar and season with salt and pepper. Slice the Wellington and serve with the gravy.

PORTOBELLO PESTO PIZZA



Portobello Pesto Pizza image

I found this on a blog called "A Dash of Sugar and Spice" and I'm posting for safe keeping. I think I'll make it some weekend my husband is at camp because he doesn't eat mushrooms! It's a good vegetarian dish that could easily go carnivore with the addition of chicken.

Provided by PSU Lioness

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 27m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 lb baby portabella mushrooms or 1 lb cremini mushroom, sliced

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 refrigerated pizza dough (unbaked. Or use your favorite homemade recipe)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect wellington, start with high-quality ingredients. Look for portobello mushrooms that are large and firm, with no blemishes. The spinach should be fresh and tender, and the pistachios should be shelled and unsalted.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the mushrooms. They should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
  • When assembling the wellingtons, be sure to wrap them tightly in the puff pastry. This will help to keep the filling from leaking out during baking.
  • Bake the wellingtons until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is heated through. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve the wellingtons immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Portobello Wellingtons with Spinach Pistachio Pesto is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of earthy mushrooms, creamy spinach, and nutty pesto is irresistible. These wellingtons are sure to impress your guests, and they are surprisingly easy to make. So next time you are looking for a unique and flavorful dish, give this recipe a try.
