Portobello Mushroom Tower
Source of Recipe
Redwood Creek
List of Ingredients
8 Portobello mushroom caps, left whole
8 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
8 slices large tomato, sliced 1/4 to 1/2 inch
8 slices fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/4 inch
8 tablespoons pesto sauce (prepared is fine)
4 long skewers, preferably bamboo, at least 6
inches long
Recipe
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Rub each mushroom cap with 1 tablespoon
of balsamic vinegar. Build each tower by first sliding
a mushroom cap onto the skewer, then a tomato
slice, then the cheese. Repeat. Transfer skewered
towers to a cookie sheet and place on the middle
rack of the oven. They should look like standing
cylinders. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the
cheese melts.
3. With each tower, slide in a steak knife next to
the skewer, and pull out the skewer. This way the
knife holds the tower together. Top each with
2 tablespoons of pesto.
