Here’s a really nice vegetarian starter or side dish with good flavors.
Servings 6 people
Ingredients
- 6 portabello mushrooms
- 9 tbsp red pesto
- 4.5 oz mozarella
- 3 tbsp pine kernels
- 2.5 oz rocket salad
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Start by removing the stems from the portabello. Brush off any dirt. Place the mushrooms gill side up. Add 1 tablespoon of red pesto in each, distribute it evenly. From the center out to the edge. Now place a pencil-thick slice or two of mozarella in each. Sprinkle some salt on top, and the pine kernels.
- Grilling the portabello mushrooms is easy. I usually run my grill at 200° C / 400° F, with the lid on. Simply place the mushrooms on the indirect side and close the lid. Leave them for 10-15 minutes. Don't flip, keep the gill side up at all times.
- When the mushrooms are done (the cheese should melt a little), place them on a serving tray/platter with rocket salad and serve immediately.
