Risotto-Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms Recipe
  • Prep: 45 min. Bake: 15 min.
  • Yield: 8 Servings
45 15 60

Ingredients

  • 1 cup balsamic vinaigrette
  • 8 large portobello mushrooms (4 to 4-1/2 inches), stems removed
  • 4 cups chicken broth, divided
  • 2 large sweet onions, chopped
  • 1 medium green pepper, diced
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, diced
  • 1 tablespoon pine nuts
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups uncooked arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  • Place vinaigrette in a large resealable plastic bag; add the mushrooms. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Drain and discard marinade. Place mushroom caps in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat broth and keep warm. In a Dutch oven, saute the onions, peppers, pine nuts and garlic in butter until tender, about 3 minutes. Add rice; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Carefully stir in 1 cup warm broth. Cook and stir until all of the broth is absorbed.
  • Add remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Allow the liquid to absorb between additions. Cook until risotto is creamy and rice is almost tender. (Cooking time is about 20 minutes.)
  • Stir in 1/2 cup cheese, parsley and pepper. Place 3/4 cup risotto in each mushroom cap. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; serve immediately. Yield: 8 servings.

Tip

Pine Nuts

Also know as pignolia or pinon, the pine nut is the small seed from one of several pine tree varieties. They are small elongated ivory-colored nuts measuring about 3/8 inch long and having a soft texture and a buttery flavor. Frequently used in Italian dishes and sauces such as pesto, pine nuts are often toasted to enhance their flavor.
