Grilled Stuffed Portobellos
Makes 4 servings
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 large lemon, juiced
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more, for drizzling
- 4 medium to large portobello mushroom caps
- Coarse salt and black pepper, or grill seasoning spice blend
- 3 large, firm plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves finely chopped to about 2 tablespoons
- 1/2 pound fresh smoked mozzarella, thinly sliced
- Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl or large food storage plastic bag. Coat mushroom caps evenly in marinade.
- Place mushroom caps on the grill cap-side-up and season with grill seasoning or salt and pepper. If you are using an indoor tabletop electric grill, preheat to 400 degrees F or "high" setting. If you are using an outdoor gas grill, preheat to medium high; for a charcoal grill, prepare coals and cook mushrooms 6 inches from hot coals. Mushrooms will cook 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Cook mushrooms covered or under tin foil tent and turn occasionally.
- Combine tomatoes, rosemary, and smoked mozzarella. Drizzle with oil and toss.
- Fill mushroom caps with tomato mixture and top with sliced mozzarella. The mushrooms will look like small pizzas. Place caps in oven at 425 degrees F until cheese melts or you can close grill lid or replace tin foil tent over mushroom caps to melt cheese, it will take 1 to 3 minutes. Serve as-is or, place stuffed caps on garlic toast or sliced crusty bread to catch the juices.
