Marinated And Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms With Parmesan Herb Breadcrumbs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Scrape out the gills of the portobellos with a spoon, then halve the mushrooms horizontally to make 6 thin rounds.
• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic; cook 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low, add the tomatoes and basil and cook until the garlic is soft, about 15 more minutes. Transfer to a food processor and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the panko, 1/2 cup parmesan, 1 tablespoon parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl. Whisk the eggs and 2 tablespoons cold water in another bowl. Put the flour in a third bowl.
• Dredge the mushrooms in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the eggs and then in the panko mixture, pressing to coat both sides. Heat 1/2 inch peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the mushrooms until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
• Spread a layer of the tomato sauce in the prepared baking dish. Add the fried mushrooms, then cover with the remaining tomato sauce. Top with the mozzarella and the remaining 1/2 cup parmesan. Bake until browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.

Steps:

• Whisk oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, and 1 garlic clove in small bowl for marinade. Using spoon, scrape out gills from mushrooms and place mushrooms on rimmed baking sheet. Brush marinade over both sides of mushrooms, arrange hollow side up, and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Mix panko, next 5 ingredients, and remaining 2 garlic cloves in medium bowl. Drizzle butter and remaining teaspoon vinegar over panko mixture and toss. Divide panko mixture among mushrooms, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges and packing down slightly. Place mushrooms on grill, stuffing side up; cover grill and cook until cheese melts and juices bubble at edges of mushrooms, rearranging mushrooms occasionally for even cooking (do not turn over), about 6 minutes.
• *Panko can be used in any recipe calling for dry (not fresh) breadcrumbs - such as eggplant parmigiana, chicken tenders, or meatloaf. It is available in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets and at Asian markets.

Steps:

• With a damp cloth or paper towel, wipe the portabellas to clean them.
• Remove the stems, chop and set aside.
• Mix all of the marinade ingredients together and place into a Ziplock bag.
• Add the mushroom caps and seal.
• Arrange the bag so that all of the portabellas are in contact with the marinade;marinate for at least 10 minutes but closer to 20.
• To make the stuffing, begin heating olive oil in a large skillet.
• Add reserved mushroom stems, onions, celery and garlic.
• Cook until veggies start to soften a bit.
• Add chicken and cook until done, about 5 or 6 minutes.
• Stir in rice, sage, 1/4 cup parmesan, salt and pepper and mix well.
• If it is a little dry, you can mix in a tablespoon or so of broth or wine.
• Remove portabellas from the Ziplock bag and discard remaining marinade.
• With a paper towel, pat the portabellas to remove excess moisture.
• Turn them over so that the gill sides are facing up and place in an oven safe pan.
• Stuff each mushroom with about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the stuffing.
• Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan on top.
• Pour the chicken broth in the bottom of pan.
• Bake uncovered in a 375 degree oven for 10-15 minutes or until the portabellas are done.
