Stuffed Portobellos
  • 4 large portobello mushroom caps
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 cup pitted cherries chopped
  • 3 oz goat cheese softened
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey optional
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Baking sheet

  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Clean portobello caps, remove stems and gills. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Roast stem-side down for 10 minutes to release moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.
  4. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
  5. Stir in cherries and balsamic vinegar. Cook 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  6. Fold in goat cheese until creamy. Season to taste.
  7. Stuff mushroom caps and bake another 10–12 minutes until golden.
  8. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with herbs before serving.

Notes

Use fresh cherries for best flavor; frozen cherries should be thawed and drained.
