One day not too long ago, I had a massive craving for Portobello mushrooms with red sauce and mozzarella cheese. I happened to have some leftover rice in my refer, along with my regular supply of fresh veggies. I thought what better way to feast on the fungus than to stuff it silly and bake it off with flavorful red sauce and cheese.

The recipe is fairly simple to prepare and is definitely a fun one. I’d be lying if I said I slaved over a simmering pot of tomato sauce for hours…I didn’t. I used my favorite store-bought puttanesca sauce and mixed it up with leftover rice. You can use any of your favorite tomato sauces – I’d recommend tomato basil, or arrabiata. If you’re feeling frisky, you can whip up a turkey bolognese sauce for some added protein.
For the stuffing mixture, you can use various combinations of fresh veggies with the rice. You can even add black beans and corn and employ salsa in place of the tomato sauce if you’re looking for some southwestern flair.

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 to 6 large portobello mushrooms
  • 3 cups cooked brown rice
  • 4 cups tomato sauce I used store-bought puttanesca sauce
  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheesegrated

FOR SERVING:

  • Freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Wash and pat dry the portobello mushrooms. Using a spoon, scoop out the gills and stems. Lightly coat each cap with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes on one side, flip, then roast an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and decrease oven heat to 375 degrees F.
  3. Pour 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce in an oven-safe skillet and evenly spread. Transfer the mushrooms to the skillet, gill-side up.
  4. Combine 1-1/2 cups of tomato sauce, the cooked rice, and the baby spinach in a large pot. Heat over medium and stir until spinach has wilted. Taste rice for flavor and add sea salt as desired.
  5. Scoop the rice mixture into the mushroom caps and top with the remaining tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and browned. For crispy cheese, broil the skillet for 2 to 3 minutes under the broiler.
  6. Serve with freshly grated parmesan and basil.

THE BEST LOADED TURKEY CHILI

THE BEST LOADED TURKEY CHILI This quick and easy loaded turkey chili recipe is a filling and healthful meal – perfect for sharing with your friends and family this winter and during your Super Bowl party. Topping chili is a fine art, do you agree? The forethought and execution of said endeavor may be the most important thing you do all day. When it comes to pimping out your chili, the more pieces of flair, the better. The flavors and textures you add to the top are just as crucial to the final outcome as what goes in the actual chili. I love the bacon-cheddar-sour cream trifecta…and with red onion  and  green onion… there’s just no other comparable flavor combination. Avocado? Major bonus. If I may be so bold, I’d say a three-topping minimum is a  must , but if you can get to that five topping mark? You’ve achieved a true level of badassedness, and deserve a mega gold star emoji. If I had to choose one meal to eat for the rest of my days, it would be liver...
