Portabella And Provolone Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• In a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper together; set aside.
• Moisten a paper towel and wipe the mushrooms to remove dirt.
• Cut out the stems and the gills; place the mushrooms in a glass dish, round side up; pour the oil mixture over the mushrooms, rubbing it in with your fingers; turn the mushrooms and lightly sprinkle the insides with salt and pepper; marinate for 10 minutes.
• Remove the mushrooms from the marinade and place on a baking sheet, rounded side up.
• Bake 10-12 minutes or until they begin to brown and shrink a bit.
• Turn the mushrooms and bake 10-12 minutes, or until some of the liquid has surfaced and the mushrooms have browned further.
• Remove from oven; let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Mix the cheeses and oregano together in a bowl.
• Scatter the cheese mixture evenly over the inside of 4 mushroom caps, followed by a tomato slice; sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and place the remaining 4 mushroom caps on top, rounded side up.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes; put the mushroom sandwiches in the skillet (in batches if needed), cover, and cook 3-5 minutes, or until the undersides are dark brown and the cheese has begun to melt.
• Uncover, and turn the mushroom sandwiches, pressing firmly with a spatula to flatten them slightly.
• Cover and cook 2-3 minutes or until the undersides have turned a shade or two darker and the cheese has melted completely; let cool slightly and cut in half; serve.

Steps:

• Place the mushroom caps, smooth side up, in a shallow dish. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, basil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour over the mushrooms. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes or so, turning twice.
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• Brush grate with oil. Place mushrooms on the grill, reserving marinade for basting. Grill for 5 to 8 minutes on each side, or until tender. Brush with marinade frequently. Top with cheese during the last 2 minutes of grilling.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the broiler (grill). Position the rack 4 inches from the heat source. Lightly coat a glass baking dish with cooking spray. Place the mushrooms in the dish, stemless (gill) side up. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, brown sugar, rosemary and garlic. Pour the mixture over the mushrooms. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes to marinate.
• 2. Broil (grill) the mushrooms, turning once, until they're tender, about 4 minutes on each side. Sprinkle grated cheese over each mushroom and continue to broil (grill) until the cheese melts. Transfer to individual plates and serve immediately.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven's broiler. Clean mushrooms, and remove stems, reserving them for later. Marinate the mushroom caps in Italian dressing for 15 minutes. Remove from marinade, and place into a baking dish.
• Broil at least 6 inches from heat for about 10 minutes. Check occasionally to make sure they do not burn. Turn off the broiler, and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Chop reserved mushroom stems. Sautee onion, garlic, mushroom stems and celery until tender. Add the crabmeat, and heat until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet mixture to a medium bowl, and mix in crackers, 1/3 cup of the cheese blend, and mix until well blended. Use some of the Italian dressing marinade to hold the mixture together if necessary. Pack the crab mixture into the cavities of the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle remaining cheese over the tops, then return to the oven for 3 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
