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.

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.

ARUGULA AND CORN SALAD WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS AND WHITE BEANS
Canned beans can also be used in this composed salad with a base of sweet corn and pungent arugula. Since you don't need a broth for this composed salad, canned beans will work, though I always prefer the flavor of beans I've cooked myself. I like to use a white bean, either a cannellini or a navy bean. I've always loved sweet corn with pungent arugula. I combine the two for a salad bed, which I top with the roasted peppers and beans. So the dish is really two salads, one on top of the other.

Tips:
- Choose the ripest and freshest vegetables: Look for portobello mushrooms with a deep, dark brown cap and no blemishes. The red peppers should be firm and have a vibrant red color. Arugula should be bright green and have a peppery flavor.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the sugars in the vegetables and give them a delicious flavor. Make sure to toss the vegetables with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper before roasting.
- Use a good quality balsamic glaze: A good balsamic glaze will add a sweet and tangy flavor to the salad. You can find balsamic glaze at most grocery stores.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of balsamic glaze goes a long way. If you add too much, it will overpower the other flavors in the salad.
Conclusion:
This roasted portobello, red pepper, and arugula salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is easy to make.
