If you have like me a soft spot for Mediterranean recipes, then come on board and get excited. Whenever I get the chance, I often come back to my recipes and eat a big bowl of my Mediterranean Eggplant Soup or I’m in the mood for my Mediterranean Vegan Burger.
Or maybe the 10 Minute Mediterranean Vegan Pasta, if things need to be done super quick. Or how about the Mediterranean Quinoa with Cashew Tzatziki, or a pizza night with my Mediterranean Vegan Pizza.
And now you can expect a new addition to this fondness for Mediterranean inspired food. So here’s the deal with my Portobello Mushroom Bruschetta.
It’s a new and modern addiction of a classic, low carb, party approved, made for spring and summer gatherings, company, easy but impressive, versatile, healthy, mouthwatering, full of flavor and always the way to go when you’re craving something delicious.
Before we get started with this, I give you some hints about the different ways of how to cook Portobello Mushrooms: you can choose from three methods: baking, frying, or grilling. No matter what method you are going to try, this recipe will work, so no worries.
For all methods it is however always important to clean the mushrooms properly! Remove the stem and carefully scrape out the gills with a spoon. Please don’t forget this step because otherwise the mushrooms will taste very earthy or muddy.
So now that you’re prepared, let’s get real in the kitchen: first mix 2 cloves of garlic (pressed), with 2 Tbs of olive oil in small bowl. Use this as a marinade for the portobello mushrooms and coat them using a pastry brush.
Season with salt and pepper, then heat a large grilling pan (or use another method see above) and cook them for 6 minutes, so each side for 3 minutes.
While the portobellos cooking, mix the chopped tomatoes, remaining olive oil, garlic, basil in small bowl. Set aside.
Next and last step: divide the portobello mushrooms on small plates top them with the tomato filling, enjoy.
This will make a versatile appetizer for lunch or dinner. Or you can make it part of a full meal by combining the Portobello Mushroom Bruschetta with my Garlic Parmesan Potatoes or for example the Mashed Cauliflower Green Bean Casserole.
