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.

WINNING! Does anyone else get a kick out of the psychology of food in relationships? You know that dance most couples do come 6pm? One person doesn’t care what they both eat, but the other person does, but he/she doesn’t want to make a big deal or cause a scene, so he/she’s super unspecific and vague about what he/she wants to eat, so the person who doesn’t care chooses because all he/she wants to do is find a solution and  eat , and the person who does care gets frustrated and makes a big deal and causes a scene because that’s not what he/she wanted, and their partner should know him/her well enough by now, and then there’s this passive-aggressive non-argument that leads to irritation for both people until dinner’s finally over and Netflix he...

SALMON AND ROOT VEGETABLE SHEET PAN DINNER

SALMON AND ROOT VEGETABLE SHEET PAN DINNER A one-pan sheet pan dinner recipe with winter root vegetables and salmon. A quick, adaptable recipe perfect for chilly winter evenings in, and the perfect go-to for paleo or Whole30 meals.   Aside from the snow, one of my favorite parts about winter is the produce. I bet you can guess why…  it’s because root vegetables are in season during the winter. Roots are incredibly nutritious, and are a brilliant for those who are looking to step up their vitamin and mineral intake, or for those who are looking for antinflammatory, antioxidant-rich foods. While this meal can be prepared using seasonal produce from any time of year, I’m loving the use of root vegetables for a speedy quick, comforting winter sheet pan dinner. It’s been long time since I’ve highlighted a new root vegetable on the blog, so I thought I’d talk about sunchokes for a hot second. Who here has heard of, tasted, and/or loves sunchokes? They’re such a coo...
