I haven't tried this yet; the recipe is from Costco. It sounds pretty good. It's listed as an appetizer, but I'd think it would probably be a nice, light lunch for two, as well. Times are estimated. Ingredients:
2 cups balsamic vinegar |
6 baby portabella mushrooms, cleaned and stem removed |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper |
6 -8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 6 1/2-inch slices |
1 roma tomato, cut into 6 slices |
6 fresh basil leaves |
1/4 cup pine nuts |
Directions:
1. Put vinegar into a small saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat, and cook until reduced to 1/2 the original volume. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
2. Preheat a grill pan over medium high heat. Brush mushroom caps with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and grill 2-3 minutes per side or until tender.
3. Remove mushrooms from grill. Top with a slice of mozzarella, then place a slice of tomato over the cheese. Place a leaf of basil on top of tomato and sprinkle with pine nuts. Drizzle with reduced balsamic vinegar glaze.
