Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

 

Sometimes I find myself in the produce aisle blown away by the mushroom choices.  There are thousands of alien varieties(Enoke, Maitake…) and then there are the less foreign, less strange looking ones, like portobellos.

Although I am a fan of the more alien forms of mushrooms, portobellos are the most versatile because their large solid shape and their sweet simple taste.  I originally bought these because I was craving portobello burgers, but by the time dinner rolled around I was craving pizza, a common problem when your constantly surrounded by kids.  Lack of cheese and an abundance of rice, turned them into stuffed portobello mushrooms.
