Portobello Mushrooms With Italian Sausage And Parmesan Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush any dirt off the mushrooms. Using a spoon, scrape away the dark brown gills on the under side. Trim the stems flush with the bottoms. In the bottom of an ovenproof casserole, large enough to hold the mushrooms in 1 layer, spread the oil. Add the mushrooms, gill side up. Set aside. Remove sausage from its casing. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook, breaking up into small pieces, until sausage browns. Discard excess fat. Add the shallot, and continue cooking until translucent. Remove to a mixing bowl and add the bread crumbs and the 1 cup of cheese. Mix until well blended. Mound sausage-cheese mixture into the mushroom caps. Bake for 20 minutes. Drizzle with warm marinara sauce, top with more Romano and parsley if using. Pass more sauce at the table.

Steps:

• Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil; cook the sausages in the boiling water until no longer pink in the center, about 40 minutes. Cut the sausages into bite-sized pieces.
• Fill a large pot with lightly-salted water and bring to a boil. Stir the penne into the water and return to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well.
• Combine the tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, garlic, wine, rosemary, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until the liquid is reduced to about half its original volume, about 10 minutes. Add the sausage and the drained pasta to the mixture and continue cooking until the liquid is reduced to about one-quarter its original volume, 10 to 15 minutes more. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the dish to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using your hands, lightly rub each portobello mushroom with 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
• Cook the sausage in a medium skillet until browned, about 4 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and mushroom stems and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
• Transfer sausage-vegetable mixture to the bowl of a food processor. Add, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, 1/4 cup of Parmesan, 1/4 cup of parsley, the Essence, and the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Pulse until mixture is finely chopped and comes together slightly, about 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the egg, and stir until well combined.
• Divide the filling among the mushroom caps, about 1/2 cup for each mushroom. Place the filled mushrooms on a baking sheet. Combine remaining 1/4 cup of bread crumbs and 1/4 cup of Parmesan in a small mixing bowl. Divide the bread crumb mixture evenly among the tops of the mushrooms. Bake until golden brown on top and the mushrooms are tender, about 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with remaining tablespoon of parsley, drizzle with olive oil and vinegar and serve warm or at room temperature.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

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:

• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
• Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over both sides of the mushrooms. Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil on the grill to prevent the mushrooms from sticking. Grill until the mushrooms are heated through and tender, about 5 minutes per side.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spread 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Place the grilled mushrooms on top of the marinara sauce and top with the remaining marinara sauce. Sprinkle with the cheeses and top with the butter pieces. Bake until the cheese melts and the top is golden, about 15 minutes. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush mushrooms with oil; arrange rounded side down on baking sheet. Bake mushrooms until almost tender, about 8 minutes. Maintain oven temperature.
• Sauté sausage in medium skillet over medium-high heat until brown and cooked through, breaking up sausage with back of spoon, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, remove sausage from skillet.
• Divide sausage among mushrooms. Top each with crushed red pepper, then 2 tablespoons sauce and 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese.
• Bake mushroom pizzas until heated through, about 10 minutes. Top each with basil leaf, if desired.
