Roasted Portobellos With Pesto Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together pesto and olive oil, set aside.
• If desired, scrape off black gills under mushroom caps, and discard (the original recipe calls for this step but it is optional).
• Spoon 2 tablespoons pesto mixture into each mushroom cap and spread evenly.
• Gently mix feta cheese with diced tomatoes, and divide evenly to top each mushroom.
• If making ahead, wrap the topped mushroom in plastic wrap, and chill till ready to grill.
• Grill mushrooms over medium heat for 10 to 20 minutes, or until soft when pierced with knife. Serve hot and enjoy.

Steps:

• For the hazelnut pesto: Place the parsley, hazelnuts, Parmesan and garlic in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil and process until combined; transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• For the portobello salad: Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high for direct and indirect grilling. Brush the mushrooms on both sides with 1/4 of the cup olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet and roast until cooked through, approximately 10 minutes on the grill. Remove to a baking sheet and loosely tent, reserving the liquid that the mushrooms have exuded.
• Whisk together the reserved mushroom liquid, the sherry vinegar, mustard, remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the mushrooms into 1/2-inch thick slices and place in a large bowl with the arugula, fennel, and some salt and pepper. Drizzle some of the vinaigrette down the sides of the bowl and toss the salad to combine. Spoon a pool of pesto on one side of a large platter. Mound the salad on the other side, and garnish everything with fennel fronds.
• Place the mushrooms on a large platter, place the fennel over the mushrooms and drizzle with the pesto. Arrange the arugula around the platter.

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.

Steps:

• Stir pesto and mayonnaise in small bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill rolls, cut side down, until lightly toasted. Transfer to plates. Spread grilled side of rolls with pesto mayonnaise.
• Brush mushrooms on both sides with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, rounded side up, 4 minutes. Turn mushrooms over. Cover and grill until mushrooms are tender, about 4 minutes. Place 1 mushroom on each roll bottom. Top each with enough red pepper pieces to cover, then with arugula and cheese. Press roll tops over and serve.
