We love spinach and portobello mushrooms. I’m also trying to find more meatless recipes so this Spinach Stuffed Portobello Mushroom from Kraft Foods would surely be a good dish to have once in a while.
Spinach Stuffed Portobello Mushroom
INGREDIENTS:
4 large portobello mushrooms (about 1 lb.), cleaned
1/4 cup KRAFT Light Zesty Italian Dressing, divided
1/4 cup chopped red pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bags (10 oz. each) fresh spinach
1/4 cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese
PREHEAT oven to 375°F. Twist or cut off stems from mushrooms. Chop stems; set aside. Use a spoon or sharp knife to scrape out the gills from mushroom caps; discard gills. Brush 1 Tbsp. of the dressing onto rounded sides of mushroom caps; place, rounded sides down, in foil-lined 15×10x1-inch baking pan.
HEAT remaining 3 Tbsp. dressing in Dutch oven on medium-high heat. Add mushroom stems, red pepper and garlic; cook and stir 2 min. Add spinach. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 4 min. or until spinach is wilted, stirring after 2 min. Spoon evenly over mushroom caps; sprinkle with cheese.
BAKE 18 to 20 min. or until mushrooms are tender.
This definitely look good for lunch and dinner. I’m drooling just looking at the picture. I’m thinking of using the same recipe for white button mushrooms to serve as appetizers. Sounds good no?

Even though I was raised vegetarian, it’s always fun to come across these new meatless recipes to spice things up! I intern with the non-profit Meatless Monday which has a website with a wealth of recipes. As a fellow mushroom lover, I highly recommend these Savory Baked Mushroom Rolls: http://www.meatlessmonday.com/savory-baked-mushroom-rolls-2/). A project of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Meatless Monday encourages cutting meat consumption to reduce the risk of preventable disease while lowering our environmental impact; the Youtube video describes the history and science behind the campaign: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpnKeYmR1NM.
