Stuffed Portobellos With Arugula And Bread Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Place mushrooms stem-side up on a rimmed baking sheet; brush all over with 3 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. On another rimmed baking sheet, toss 4 cups bread with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast mushrooms on top rack until softened, and bread cubes on bottom until golden, 12 minutes.
• Combine sausage, egg, and remaining 2 cups bread; season with salt and pepper. Divide evenly among mushroom caps; roast until cooked through, 15 minutes more.
• Adjust oven to broil. Divide cheese among mushrooms; broil until golden and bubbly, 3 minutes. Toss croutons with arugula, fennel, vinegar, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Serve mushrooms, with salad alongside.

Steps:

• Tidbit: Panzanella, stale bread salad, requires that you soak and wring out the bread before assembling the salad. If you make this with fresh crusty bread or the bread has staled a bit but not hardened, the juice from the tomatoes should be enough to tenderize the bread's crusty edges.
• Preheat grill to medium-high and oven to 425 degrees F.
• Using a damp towel, brush mushroom caps to clean. Using a pastry brush, coat the caps with extra-virgin olive oil and grill with lid down or roast about 5 to 6 minutes, turning once, until tender but still firm at center.
• Wring the spinach out in a clean kitchen towel. Separate the spinach with your fingers and combine with artichokes, ricotta cheese, egg yolk, grated garlic, salt and pepper, to taste, and nutmeg.
• Remove mushroom caps from grill.
• To portion-control the filling, divided the stuffing into 4 parts then just split each of those evenly between 2 caps. Sprinkle the caps with Parmigiano and cook 5 to 6 minutes more in the preheated oven to set filling and lightly brown tops.
• Do not seed tomatoes. Chop and place in a salad bowl. Add basil, bread, onions, 1/4 cup EVOO, lots of salt and pepper and toss with your hands to combine.
• Serve 2 caps with a pile of salad alongside, if desired, per person.

Steps:

• Turn on broiler or toaster oven.
• Wash and trim stems from mushrooms. Spray oil on mushroom tops, and place under broiler. Broil 5 to 10 minutes, depending on heat of broiler.
• Wash, dry and trim tough stems from arugula.
• Rinse and julienne the peppers.
• Arrange the arugula on two salad plates; top each with a mushroom, and sprinkle with julienned peppers. Season with pepper.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in red pepper flakes and chopped mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are coated with oil and begin to soften.
• Pour in sherry and chicken broth. Simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Add arugula and cook until wilted, about one minute. Season with black pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Remove stems from mushrooms (discard or save for another use); set caps aside. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, bread crumbs, walnuts, onion, raisins if desired, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Stir in egg and broth until blended. , Spoon into mushroom caps; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Place in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.
