Portobello Mushrooms Stuffed with Eggplant and Gorgonzola Recipe

I’ve seen portobello mushrooms in so many restaurant dishes lately that I decided to develop my own recipe,” says Eileen M. Watson of Oviedo, Florida. “I like to serve these stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer when I entertain, but they also make a terrific meatless entrée.”

Makes 6 servings.

INGREDIENTS

  • 65- to 6-inch-diameter portobello mushrooms, stemmed
  • 1/4cup olive oil
  • 4japanese eggplants (unpeeled), finely chopped
  • 6tablespoons chopped drained
    oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4cup dry red wine
  • 6ounces crumbled gorgonzola cheese
  • 2tablespoons chopped fresh basil1/4cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

    DIRECTIONS

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange mushrooms, rounded side down, on large baking sheet. Heat oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add eggplant, sun-dried tomatoes and garlic. Sauté until eggplant is soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in red wine and simmer until liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; stir in Gorgonzola cheese and 1 tablespoon basil. Season with salt and pepper.
    Spoon mixture evenly into mushroom caps. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover mushrooms with aluminum foil. Bake mushrooms for 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until cheese melts, filling bubbles and mushrooms are tender when pierced with sharp knife, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle mushrooms with remaining 1 tablespoon basil and serve warm.
