A recipe with portobello mushrooms has a pretty fancy ring to it. But before you skip ahead to the next recipe on your list, we suggest giving this stuffed portobello mushroom recipe a chance. You won’t regret it! First, you probably should know what you’re getting into. A long time ago, portobello mushrooms were part of most farmers’ rejected-mushroom harvest because people didn’t want to buy the large, brown open-capped mushrooms, even though they come from the same strain as the smaller, whiter, closed-cap mushrooms sold at grocery stores. Those more acceptable-looking fungi are called button mushrooms, or in their immature state, crimini mushrooms. So that simply means that portobello mushrooms are older crimini mushrooms. These mushrooms are also thicker and “meatier” tasting that their smaller, less dense relatives. They’re also sturdy, which means they’re easier to grill. That’s where our recipe comes in. Stuffed portobello mushrooms are a savory, filling dish. They’re healthy, too! You can easily serve this recipe as a main course, an appetizer or side dish. It’s that flexible.
