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.

Time 40m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 portobello mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 splash Chardonnay wine, or as desired
3 tablespoons pesto
2 tablespoons pine nuts
½ cup shredded Italian 3-cheese blend

Steps:

  • Remove stems from mushrooms and finely chop stems.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chopped mushroom stems, shallot, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour wine into the skillet; cook and stir mixture using a wooden spoon until liquid is evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool mixture to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Brush the olive oil mixture over the top each mushroom and place, top-side up, on a grilling pan. Mix pesto and pine nuts with the mushroom stem mixture together in a bowl; spoon into each mushroom. Sprinkle Italian cheese blend over the filling.
  • Grill mushrooms on the preheated grill until edges are blackened and stuffing is bubbling, about 10 minutes.

I've tried this recipe twice now and both times the portobello mushrooms have been tough and chewy. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Great recipe! I made it for a party and everyone loved it. The portobello mushrooms were a nice change from the usual grilled meats.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. The portobello mushrooms were juicy and flavorful, and the pesto added a nice touch of tang. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this recipe last night and it was a hit! The flavors of the pesto and portobello mushrooms melded together perfectly. I served it with a side of roasted potatoes and green beans, and it was a complete meal. Will definitely be making this again
