    Recipe Introduction


    Portobello caps make excellent mini casseroles. Here, they hold a tomato, cheese and olive stuffing that grills up to a smoky perfection. Serve them with whole-wheat couscous and a mixed green salad for an easy meal.


    List of Ingredients


    • 2/3 cup chopped plum tomatoes
    • 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
    • 1/4 cup chopped kalamata olives
    • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
    • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
    • 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
    • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    • 4 portobello mushroom caps, 5 inches wide
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce


    Instructions


    1. Combine tomatoes, cheese, olives, garlic, 1 teaspoon oil, rosemary and pepper in a small bowl.
    2. Preheat grill to medium.
    3. Discard mushroom stems. Remove brown gills from the undersides of the caps using a spoon; discard gills. Mix the remaining 1 teaspoon oil, lemon juice and soy sauce in a small bowl. Brush the mixture over both sides of the caps.
    4. Oil a grill rack (see Tip). Place the caps on the rack, stem sides down, cover and grill until soft, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and fill with the tomato mixture. Return to the grill, cover, and cook until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes more.
