Ingredients:
4 large portabello mushrooms (1 to 1-1/4 pounds) |
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided |
1 1/2 cups cut fresh asparagus (about 5 ounces spears) |
1/3 cup chopped shallots or sweet onion |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1 large plum tomato, diced (1/2 cup) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 cup fresh multigrain bread crumbs |
1/4 cup grated romano or parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400oF.
2. Clean mushroom caps with a damp paper towel. Cut off stems from mushroom caps; rinse under cold water. Coarsely chop stems and set aside. Use a spoon or paring knife to scrape out and discard gills from mushroom caps. Brush 2 teaspoons of the oil over mushroom caps; place oiled sides down on a 15 x 10 inch jelly roll pan or baking sheet.
3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, shallots, garlic and chopped mushroom stems. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in tomato, salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into mushroom caps. Combine bread crumbs and cheese; sprinkle evenly over mushrooms. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until hot and crumbs are golden brown. Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 stuffed mushroom cap).
4. *To make fresh bread crumbs, tear 1 to 2 slices multigrain bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs appear. Extra bread crumbs may be placed in a food storage freezer bag and frozen up to 3 months.
