Portobello Pizzas

[Guest guest]

Portobello " Pizzas "

 

We had these last night for dinner, with a garden salad and, mango sherbet for

dessert.

 

8 large Portobello mushrooms 4 ounces each, stems removed and reserved

1/2 cup water

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp. salt

1 cup cooked white beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup arugula, spinach or watercress leaves, torn into bite-size pieces, we used

spinach

4 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

2 tsp. balsamic vinegar

 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. With a small spoon, scrape out and discard the

black gills from the mushroom caps. Spray a jelly-roll or baking pan with

nonstick cooking spray. Place the mushroom caps, stemmed side down, in the pan

and cover with aluminum foil.

Bake until the mushroom caps are tender, about 7 minutes. Transfer the baked

mushroom caps, stemmed side down, to paper towels to drain. Discard any liquid

left in the pan. Leave the oven on.

Meanwhile, finely chop the mushroom stems. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the

water over medium heat. Add the garlic and mushroom stems, and cook, stirring

frequently, until the stems are tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 5

minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, the beans,

cherry tomatoes, greens, 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan, and the vinegar.

Return the baked mushroom caps to the baking pan, stemmed side up. Sprinkle the

mushrooms with the remaining 1/2teaspoon salt. Fill the mushroom cavities with

the bean mixture and sprinkle with the remaining 3 tablespoons Parmesan. Bake

until the bean mixture is piping hot and the Parmesan is crusty, about 5

minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

mushrooms were so low in calories. Thanks, AJ.

I'm so glad you liked them, they are different but so tasty. Thanks for the

review. AJ

I just loved them so did my friends, some who eat meat. I used the spinach too.

I will make them often. Thanks for the recipe.
