Caprese Stuffed Portabellos with Prosciutto and Red Wine Glaze

Meatless Monday, side dish, vegetarian | June 6, 2016 | By

Summer vacation has arrived!  Which is why we recently took a mini vacation in the mountains just for a quick getaway.  It was really serene, and we did a lot of family bonding.  The only problem is that I think I  pretty much ate the equivalent of a medium sized pig all by myself.  All we grilled were brats, hotdogs, ribs, burgers, eggs, bacon, sausage, and boy did we pay for it afterwards!  Actually, it was more so me that felt really weighted down and heavy, and I honestly didn’t want to eat anything for a few days.  Even Chef Fresh said that all he wanted was salad.  It blew my mind because he is the truest definition of a carnivore. 🙂

But Chef Jess (the butcher) protested since this meant that she would not be picking the main dish for a few days.  She finally agreed after a little coaxing.  Ok… A LOT of coaxing. lol  With her onboard, all we needed to do was brainstorm what could make.  The thing is…we wanted something just a little hardier than a salad.  That was the inspiration for this particular dish.  We’re calling it Meatless Monday Caprese stuffed Portabellos with Prosciutto.

Portabello mushrooms are so hearty that they are steak-like in texture.  Together we thought about how to stuff them.  In the past, we have packed them with lump crab meat, but we wanted something different this time.  Chef Fresh suggested tomatoes and mozzarella, and Chef Jess decided to add prosciutto for a smoky flavor.  Garlic butter, basil and red onions round it out.  I added my red wine glaze sauce that I use for so many recipes because I thought it would give the dish some edge. 😉

That’s it!  Brush on the garlic butter, fill with cheese, onions, and fresh basil.

Grill over a hot fire, and wait patiently. 🙂

Don’t overcook the portabellos because they’ll be to mushy, and you want them to retain that meaty texture.

 The red wine glaze drizzled on top was the perfect punch of flavor!  It adds some tangy sweetness that melds well with the smoky and garlicky mushroom and prosciutto flavors.

This is honestly a perfect Meatless Monday dish that can be eaten as a main dish, or in combination with a salad or other grilled veggie… ANYDAY of the week.  We actually made this two days in a row because it’s super easy and really rewarding.

The stuffing possibilities are endless.  I’m sure my Young Chefs will experiment during their school vacation.  I’ll be sure to share…as always. 🙂
