Portobellos Stuffed with Polenta and Spinach

Serves 6

30 minutes or fewer

30 minutes or fewer   If you use 10 to 12 small portobellos instead of 6 large ones, this dish could be served as an appetizer. For a flavor twist, substitute marinated artichoke hearts for the sun-dried tomatoes.
  • 1 cup instant polenta
  • 1 6-oz. jar oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped and oil reserved
  • 1 ½ cups fresh baby spinach
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 6 large portobello mushroom caps
  1. Preheat broiler. Spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare polenta according to package directions. Remove from heat, and stir in tomatoes, spinach and Parmesan cheese; add salt and pepper to taste if desired.
  3. Scrape off brown gills from inside mushroom caps using spoon. Stir 2 Tbs. gills into polenta mixture, and discard remaining gills. Brush both sides of mushroom caps with reserved oil from tomatoes. Place caps, stem side down, on baking sheet, and broil 5 minutes on each side, or until soft.
  4. Spoon polenta mixture into mushroom caps. Broil mushrooms about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Using spatula, transfer mushrooms to serving plates.

VERY tasty! I substituted marinated artichoke hearts for 1/2 of the sun-dried tomatoes, and I also added chopped garlic that had been sauteed with pine nuts in olive oil. Next time, I'll add scallions. This is one of the best dishes I've ever made!
