Ingredients:

  • 6 portobello mushrooms
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup pesto (see notes for variance*); use nut-free pesto if desired
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup+ balsamic vinegar (to marinate) 
  • drizzle of truffle oil (optional)

Directions:

  1. Rinse mushrooms and remove stems. 
  2. Place in container and cover with balsamic vinegar. Marinate for 10 minutes; flip half-way through. 
  3. While mushrooms are marinating, combine ricotta cheese, pesto and honey in a bowl. Stir well to combine. Set aside. 
  4.  Remove mushrooms from vinegar and shake off excess.
  5. Grill on medium heat, stem side down first. Flip after 4 minutes. 
  6. Once flipped, fill with stuffing. Grill for another 6 minutes until stuffing starts to lightly bubble. 
  7. Remove from heat and drizzle with truffle oil, if desired. 

Voilà! Your Pesto & Ricotta Portobello Mushrooms are ready to go!

Notes:

  • It’s best to use portobello mushrooms that are deep/bowl like. Flat ones don’t hold stuffing as well and are difficult to transfer from the grill or campfire broiler. 
  • Adjust pesto amount according to preference. Some prepared pestos are saltier and stronger in flavour than others.
