craving. . .stuffed portobello mushrooms

[stellanoir]

A local high end restaurant has these as an appetizer and they are exquisite and drizzled with balsamic vinegar.

I often marinate portobello mushrooms in balsamic vinegar and saute them and mix them in with all sorts of things.

I've done a search for recipes for stuffed ones and none that I found really appealed to me.

Does anyone have any suggestions or do I have to try to bribe the local chef?

Thanks in advance.

1. I like Turkey stuffing in my Portobellos

I take the seasoned bread cubes, mix with onions sauteed in butter and browned sausage. Throw in an egg or two and maybe a chopped apple or some raisins. If you are looking for something without meat you can substitute the sausage for some spinach.

2. got any of that lobster left in the freezer?

I'd use that with green onion and garlic and some Old Bay

3. Heck no

That's long gone.

It's a good idea for the next time a lobsterman wants to curry favor and get a better deal from my folks for blueberries or a Christmas Tree though.

Thanks.

I've got a recipe for blue cheese and crab stuffed mushrooms-don't see why it wouldn't work with portabellas.

6. I mix a stuffing of

white crab meat, minced shallots, crumbled gorgonzola, bread crumbs, parm cheese, melted butter, salt, pepper, minced garlic. Then I stuff each mushroom substantially and lay them in a glass baking dish. I pour some cooking wine in the bottom of the dish, not a whole lot. Top each mushroom with a small pat of butter (take one pat and cut it into fourths) and then top with your favorite shredded Italian cheese.

I'm sorry, I really can't tell you the amounts because I don't measure. I also can't remember what I bake it at and for how long. I just kinda wing it. If you can find a similar recipe on the net you could probably get the technical info there and use it.

7. Sounds a lot like the one I use

Sometimes for a slightly different taste, I use either Roquefort or Stilton.

8. I used make them with

pecans, breadcrumbs, and Worcestershire sauce. It was more than that; though. I'll see if I can find the recipe. I remembered it because I came across it again at christmas.
