Grilled Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms For Two Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium heat
• Wipe the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to clean and dry well. Do not rinse under water. Brush the tops of the mushrooms with canola oil and set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, mix together the pesto sauce, Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes and the bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and mix thoroughly. Divide the mixture evenly into the 4 mushroom caps and top each with some mozzarella cheese. Put on the grill and cook until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the turkey sausage and cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the mascarpone cheese. Add the thyme, oregano, bread crumbs, 1/2 of the Gorgonzola, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir until all ingredients are combined.
• Brush the mushrooms on both sides with the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the mushrooms, stem side down, for 3 minutes. Turn the mushrooms over and grill for 2 minutes until tender. Fill each mushroom with the sausage mixture and top with the remaining Gorgonzola. Return the mushrooms to the grill and cook until the stuffing is warmed through and the cheese starts to melt, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Cook's Note: The assembled mushrooms can also be placed on a baking sheet and cooked under a preheated broiler until warmed through.
