2 Servings

Prep time: 15 min

Cook time: 20 min

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. portabella mushroom caps
• 2 cup(s) shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
• 1 medium fresh tomato, chopped
• 2 fresh lemon juice
• 2 fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tsp. olive oil
• 1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 1 garlic, minced

Instructions:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350F or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
• 2. In a medium sized bowl combine finely chopped tomatoes and shredded mozzarella. Toss with 1/2 tsp of olive oil, black pepper, minced garlic and finely chopped cilantro.
• 3. Remove stems from mushroom caps and discard. Using a spoon create a mushroom bowl by scraping out some of the center of the mushrooms.
• 4. In a small bowl, mix the other 1/2 tsp olive oil, the lemon juice and soy sauce. Using a pastry brush, brush the mixture on both sides of the mushroom caps.
• 5. In the oven: place mushrooms cut side down on a foil lined baking sheet, bake ten minutes until mushrooms are soft, flip the mushrooms and then spoon the cheese and tomato mixture into the mushroom bowls. Return to the oven and cook for another two minutes or until the cheese is melted.
• 6. On the grill: place mushrooms cut side down for five minutes, then flip and grill for five more minutes. Spoon the cheese and tomato mixture into the mushroom bowls. Close the grill cover and cook for another two minutes. For easy clean up, lay a piece of aluminum foil down on the grill.
