STUFFED PORTOBELLO BURGERS
"This recipe was inspired by John Garcia, co-owner of JJ & F Market in my neighborhood. He claims that he has seduced beef-burger eaters into believing that the flavor of this mushroom burger is as good as a meaty one. Even his kids like them, especially when tucked inside slightly warmed whole wheat buns."
4 large portobello mushrooms
FOR THE MARINADE:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
FOR THE STUFFING:
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/4 cup red wine
3/4 cup toasted bread crumbs (or finely crumbled bread)
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
4 whole wheat buns (for serving)
Lightly oil the grill rack. Preheat the grill.
In a large bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, garlic, basil, salt, and black pepper. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the marinade into a medium skillet; set both aside.
Remove the stems from the caps of the mushrooms. Chop the stems into fine pieces. Place in a small bowl with the onion and bell pepper.
Using a teaspoon, scrape out and discard the gills of the mushroom caps. Place the mushroom caps in the bowl of marinade, tossing them to coat all sides.
Place the skillet with the marinade over medium heat and warm the marinade. Add the onion mixture and cook for 3 minutes, or until soft.
Add the wine to the skillet and continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, add the bread crumbs, and mix thoroughly.
Place the mushroom caps, stem side down, on the grill and cook for 3 minutes. Remove and place on a platter and generously fill with stuffing. Evenly distribute the cheese on top of each.
Return the mushrooms to the grill, stuffed side up. Cover and grill for 8 to 10 minutes, or until warm throughout. Tuck inside the buns.
