spinach stuffed portabellas


Posted by Picasa
this is my new favorite thing. a portabella mushroom with spinach, garlic, and feta.  i must confess, i don't really like portabellas,  at least on a sandwich or a burger.  i think this is about the only recipe i make with them , really.  i want to go to the store right now to purchase one for tonight, as a matter of fact.  anyway, start by removing the gills from the cap.  i also peel the skin off my mushrooms.  it completely removes the dirt and leaves you with a clean, white mushroom, it just looks better that way.  drizzle a bit of olive oil on both sides and put in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes, just to soften the mushroom up.  while the mushroom is cooking, chop some fresh spinach, feta, and garlic.  drizzle with a bit of olive oil and mix to combine.  after the mushroom has cooked for 10 minutes, take it out and fill it with the spinach mixture.  fill it full!  put it back in the oven for about 5 minutes, until the spinach has begun to wilt and the feta has softened.  sprinkle with salt and pepper.  enjoy!
