CHEESE-&-SPINACH-STUFFED PORTOBELLOS



Cheese-&-Spinach-Stuffed Portobellos image

Here we take the elements of a vegetarian lasagna filling--ricotta, spinach and Parmesan cheese--and nestle them into roasted portobello mushroom caps. The recipe works best with very large portobello caps; if you can only find smaller ones, buy one or two extra and divide the filling among all the caps. Serve with a tossed salad and a whole-wheat dinner roll or spaghetti tossed with marinara sauce.

The recipe works best with very large portobello caps. . . Serve with a tossed salad and a whole-wheat dinner roll or spaghetti tossed with marinara sauce."

This will make them easier to stuff.

Provided by Laura / A Beautiful Plate

Categories     Healthy and Light

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 large (4-inch wide) portobello mushrooms (stems trimmed (*see notes))
extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 shallot (finely sliced)
6 ounces baby spinach
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 shallot (finely diced)
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
1 garlic clove (finely minced)
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1½ cups (12 ounces) high-quality store-bought (or homemade) marinara sauce (I recommend Rao's brand (*see recipe notes))
4 ounce goat cheese (cold from the fridge)

Steps:

  • Roast the Portobello Mushrooms: Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) with a rack in the center position. Lightly spray or brush a standard sheet pan with olive oil. Distribute the portobello mushrooms, stem side up, on the baking sheet and brush or spray lightly with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 25 minutes (*this time will vary depending on the size of your mushrooms, check after 10 minutes or so to be sure), or until tender. If any moisture collects in the mushroom caps, carefully drain and discard. Set mushrooms aside on a large plate as you prepare the filling and crispy panko breadcrumb topping.
  • Prepare the Sautéed Spinach: Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced shallots and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, or until soft and translucent. Add the baby spinach, increase the heat to medium-high. Sauté until just wilted, stirring continuously. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Prepare the Crispy Breadcrumb Topping: Melt the butter in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Once the butter is just beginning to sizzle, add the chopped shallots and a pinch of salt and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Add the panko breadcrumbs and minced garlic, and toast for three to four minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the breadcrumbs from burning, or until the breadcrumbs are very light golden in color. Transfer to a shallow bow and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Assembly: Reduce the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Line the same sheet pan with parchment paper (*note: if you have a baking rack that can be set within a baking sheet, I prefer to place the mushrooms on this, as it helps prevent the mushrooms from sitting in any juice that releases during cooking).
  • Distribute the roasted mushrooms, stem side up, on the sheet pan, in the center of the sheet pan so that they are just touching each other. Fill each mushroom with a large spoonful of marinara sauce. Distribute the sautéed spinach evenly among the mushrooms, spooning it on top of the sauce.
  • Slice the goat cheese into ½-inch thick slices (roughly half an ounce). It may crumble a bit, but do your best to keep it in a roughly round slice. Carefully press the goat cheese slices, on both sides, in the panko breadcrumb topping and place on top of each mushroom. Sprinkle the mushrooms with the remaining breadcrumb mixture.
  • Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and goat cheese is just beginning to soften. Be careful to ensure that the breadcrumbs do not burn. Serve immediately.

Portobello Mushrooms Stuffed with Spinach and Goat Cheese image

Categories     Mushroom     Marinate     Roast     Vegetarian     Lunch     Goat Cheese     Parmesan     Spinach     Bon Appétit     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

Marinated mushrooms
1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup Marsala (optional)
4 large fresh thyme sprigs
6 large portobello mushrooms
Filling:
1 10-ounce package frozen spinach
1 pound button mushrooms
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped sweet onion (such as Maui or Vidalia)
3 garlic cloves, pressed
1/4 cup plus 6 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup unseasoned dry breadcrumbs
1 5-ounce package soft fresh goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • For marinated mushrooms:
  • Whisk first 6 ingredients and Marsala, if desired, in medium bowl for marinade. Stir in thyme sprigs. Cut stems from mushrooms and place stems in processor. Arrange mushrooms, gill side up, in 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Pour marinade over mushrooms and marinate 4 hours, turning to coat occasionally.
  • For filling:
  • Cook spinach according to package directions. Drain; cool. Using hands, squeeze excess water from spinach. Place in small bowl.
  • Add half of button mushrooms to processor with portobello mushroom stems. Using on/off turns, process until coarsely chopped. Transfer to medium bowl and repeat with remaining mushrooms. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add onion; sauté until beginning to brown, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds. Add chopped mushrooms, sprinkle with salt, and increase heat to high. Cook until almost all liquid evaporates, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Season mushroom mixture with salt and pepper. Transfer to large bowl; cool to room temperature.
  • Add spinach, 1/4 cup Parmesan, and breadcrumbs to mushroom mixture; toss to distribute evenly. Add goat cheese and toss gently to distribute evenly. Season filling to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover filling and let stand at room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Transfer marinated mushrooms, with some marinade still clinging, to rimmed baking sheet, gill side down. Roast until beginning to soften, about 15 minutes. Turn mushrooms over. Divide filling among mushrooms. Sprinkle remaining 6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese over and bake until heated through and cheese begins to brown, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose Large Portabella Mushrooms: Select large, flat portobello mushrooms with intact stems. Look for mushrooms that are about 4 inches in diameter.
  • Remove the Stems Carefully: Use a spoon or a melon baller to gently remove the stems from the mushrooms. Be careful not to tear the mushroom caps.
  • Roast the Mushrooms: Before stuffing, roast the mushrooms in a hot oven for about 10 minutes. This will help to caramelize the mushrooms and bring out their flavor.
  • Use a Variety of Cheeses: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses in the stuffing. A combination of mozzarella, Parmesan, and cream cheese works well, but you can also use fontina, goat cheese, or Gruyère.
  • Add Vegetables and Herbs: For extra flavor and texture, add chopped vegetables such as spinach, onion, bell pepper, or zucchini to the stuffing. You can also stir in fresh herbs like basil, thyme, or oregano.
  • Cook Until Golden Brown: Bake the stuffed mushrooms in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the mushrooms are tender and slightly browned. This usually takes about 20 minutes.

Conclusion:

Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Portobellas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their savory filling and tender mushroom caps, these stuffed portobellas are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.

Note: For the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients and follow the recipe instructions carefully.
