Brian and I have made it a tradition to make a special dinner together on saturdays. We put the babes down to bed, open a bottle of wine, put on some tunes and cook together. It is special time together to reconnect after another hectic week. It is so nice to cook in the kitchen together too. Usually he has been bbq'ing but a real rainy saturday ruled that out this week.This is just a idea on a method you can do with whatever you want to stuff your mushroom with. I love the earthy, meatiness of a portobello. For this dish I made some sauce and then mixed in a half pound of my favorite spicy italian chicken sausage from whole foods. So the filling should be more on the meaty side versus saucy side, you don't want it to be too runny. If you don't make your own sauce, use your favorite jarred one.
1. We took out the gills of the portobellos first.
2. Drizzled the portobellos with some olive oil.
3. Broil for 5-6 minutes.
4. Stuff with your filling.
5. Put some cheese on top (I did mozzarella slices).
6. Put back under the broiler until cheese melts and is bubbly!
I've just recently become a stuffed mushroom fan when a friend brought shrooms stuffed with Italian sausage and a blend of cheeses and it was delish! Love that you're getting a nice dinner in with the hubby.
