I've made this a couple of times and my DH and I love them. Some portobellos can be so thick they don't get cooked all the way through, so I found that if I grill them first (about 2-3 minutes a side) before stuffing them, they are cooked better. I add fresh chopped hot peppers from our garden to spice things up because that's what we like. We eat 2 each as a main meal with a salad and we're completely satisfied. I added fresh garlic but only after the mix is sauted. The flavour of garlic comes through much stronger when it's not cooked. We LOVE garlic! I also added salt & pepper. This is a real nice and easy meal.

    This is a lovely way to prepare those wonderful mushrooms. A perfect substitution for those pizza cravings. I use a melon baller to scrape out the gills from the mushrooms. That is a neat and quick way to get rid of them, as they aren't too pretty cooked. I made this dish as you directed, but I did add one seeded, deveined jalapeno with the other peppers. It wasn't that noticible. Maybe next time I will add some pepper flakes instead of the jalapeno. I will definately keep this on my list of zaar "best finds". Thanks for sharing.

    This is a GREAT way to satisfy the pizza craving without all the carbs but , PLEASE do yourself a favor . Take a spoon and scrape out all the gills on the under side of the mushroom . This will help get rid of all that inky black juice that comes from cooking these mushrooms . I added a spoonful of pizza sauce to the top , then put on the vegs. , then broiled them until the cheese was melted . DELICIOUS !!!! I bet you could even try adding a little sausage or pepperoni to these little yummies !!! I will be using this a lot !!!!
