Goat Cheese And Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the filling: In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook, stirring constantly, until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the cheese, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat, constantly tossing and stirring, until the cheese melts and everything is mixed together, another 2 to 4 minutes. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• For the topping: In a food processor, add the breadcrumbs, walnuts, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Pulse to combine, then, with the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. The mixture should be crumbly and easy to sprinkle.
• For the mushrooms: Stuff each mushroom with an equal amount of the filling. Sprinkle an equal amount of topping over each mushroom. Place on a baking sheet and bake until the tops are golden and the mushrooms are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

In small bowl, combine the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt., Cut a pocket horizontally in the thickest part of each chicken breast. Fill with spinach mixture; secure with toothpicks., In an 8-in. cast-iron or ovenproof skillet, heat 1-1/2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Brown chicken on each side. Place in oven; bake 10 minutes., Toss asparagus with remaining 1-1/2 teaspoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon salt; add to skillet. Bake until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 165° and asparagus is tender, 10-15 minutes longer. If desired, drizzle with vinegar. Discard toothpicks before serving.

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.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to upper middle portion, place rimmed baking sheet on rack, and heat oven to 400°F Using sharp knife, cut 1/4 inch slits, spaced 1/2 inch apart, in crosshatch pattern on surface(non-grill side) of 8 mushrooms. Dice remaining 2 mushroom caps and reserved stems into 1/2 inch pieces; set aside (you should have about 3 cups).
• Brush both sides of caps with 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoons salt. Carefully place caps, grill-side up, on preheated baking sheet. Roast until mushrooms have released some of their juices and begin to brown edges, 8-12 minutes. Flip caps over and continue to roast until liquid has completely evaporated and caps are golden brown, 8-12 minutes longer. Remove mushrooms from oven and heat broiler,.
• Meanwhile, place spinach and water in large microwave-safe bowl. Cover bowl with large dinner plate (plate should completely cover bowl and not rest on spinach). Microwave on high until spinach is wilted and decreased in volume by half, 3-4 minutes. Using potholders, remove bowl from microwave and keep covered 1 minute. Carefully remove plate and transfer spinach to colander set in sink. Using back of rubber spatula, gently press spinach against colander to release excess liquid. Transfer spinach to cutting board and roughly chop. Return spinach to colander and press again. Set aside.
• Pulse bread in food processor until coarsely ground, about 16 one-second pulses (you should have about 1 1/2 cups). Heat 1 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoons butter in 12-inch skillet over medium heat until butter is melted.

Stir in sherry and cook until almost no liquid remains, 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in reserved mushrooms, spinach, thyme, goat cheese, cream and walnuts. Continue cooking until cheese is melted and vegetables are well coated, 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan, stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Flip caps, grill side up and distribute filling evenly among mushroom caps; top each with 2 Tbsp bread crumb mixture. Broil mushrooms until crumbs are golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.
• NOTE: For some reason, I cannot get the recipe to show the mushrooms as Portobellos - only portabella!
