We love to eat portobellos - they are that awesome food that enables me to stay under my calorie count but are rich and delicious enough that my guy doesn't mind eating low-cal. BUT, I am in a rut cooking them - I have one good recipe that I bake them in and we grill them in all different marinades, but does anyone have a great portobello recipe that they can share with me? Thanks!

    I like to make stuffed mushrooms, I take out the stalk if there is one, then make a filling that usually involves the stalk, wholemal breadcrumbs, tomatoes, and a small amount of cheese and some sort of meat like chorizo or ham. Blitz the mixture, add any seasoning/herbs yu desire, smoosh it onto the mushy, and whack in the oven for 10-15 minutes. I either do these as an appetiser, or serve on cous cous. Damn I need some cooked mushys now!

    I stuff mine as well: one serving of cheese, grated zucchini (and carrot works too, but it is harder to grate, IMO, so I usually omit it), button mushrooms, grape tomatoes, and scallions.

    I remove the stalk and the gills (obviously, you can leave the gills is you prefer, but I like removing them, and it makes me cup a bit bigger for stuffing). I stir up all my other ingredients in a bowl, then I split it between 2 big portobellos or 3 smaller ones. Then bake until the filling is cooked and the cheese is melted. So yummy!

    I don't cook with them too often but my favourite way to eat them is as a burger. I grill one and put it on a bun with a little mozzarella cheese and any other burger toppings I feel like having. Low cal and delicious!

    I haven't tried it yet, but someone mentioned that they make little mini pizza's with portabellos. No crust, add the pizza toppings to the mushrooms. Sounds good to me!

    I made Hungry Girl Pizza-bellas yesterday and they were very good. Another good one by Hungry Girl is the Pizza-fied chicken, both of these are very easy.

    When I googled the Hungry Girl Pizza-fied chicken it also brought up the Pizza-bellas recipe. It also gives you the nutrition facts.

    I have a recipe here for a portobello panini sandwich! Instead of using bread you use the portobello's as the bread & stuff with goat cheese, garlic, grilled red peppers, grn onions, fresh thyme & drizzle red wine vinegar on the inside before cooking it in your panini press! If you dont have a panini press you could do it in a pan like a grilled cheese or a healthier way would be in the oven...mmmm mushrooms!~ :)
