Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portobello mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.33 cups Pesto
- 0.5 cups Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Gently clean the portobello mushrooms with a damp cloth, and remove the stems. Use a spoon to scrape out the gills if desired for a smoother presentation.
Brush both sides of the mushroom caps with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes with the pesto until evenly coated.
Place the mushrooms gill-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes, then flip.
Spoon the pesto-coated tomatoes evenly into the mushroom caps. Close the grill lid and cook for another 5-6 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the tomatoes are warmed through.
Remove from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the mushrooms.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil before serving.
