Stuffed portobello caps?

[ingestiblebulk]

i'm on a bit of a mushroom kick at the moment, and i want to make stuffed mushroom caps. however, i have no idea what to put into it. what do you do?

I don't stuff portobellos, but when I do other mushrooms, I chop the stems, add breadcrumbs, parmesan, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning (or you could just use a pre-seasoned crumbs or on the stove stuffing mix), drizzle with olive oil, bake.

Here's a simple recipe:

[FONT=trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica]Grilled Portobellos with Olive Oil & Garlic[/FONT]
[FONT=trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica]4 Portobellos
Olive Oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced
Chopped fresh parsley
Preheat the broiler or start your grill.[/FONT]
[FONT=trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica]Wipe mushrooms clean and remove stems. Drizzle all over with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Broil or grill about 4 inches from flame, gill side up, 2 minutes. Turn over, sprinkle tops with garlic and a bit more oil, and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer, being careful not to burn the garlic. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Depence, some time simply cheese, some times I use some of the mushrooms to chop them and stew and then add inside the caps, some more cheese o the top then dip fry or bake. Sometimes spinach and cheese mixture. Sometimes massed potato and cheese, sometimes all of the above but no cheese. I say ot could be anything you like.

I've stuffed them with shrimp or Hot Italian sausage. The best by far were the ones I stuffed with leftover pot roast and potatoes and served with gravy.

Oh goodness - you can stuff those babies with virtually ANYTHING!

I've used:

Seasoned ricotta/mozzarella/parmesan cheeses
Crabmeat
Escargot with garlic butter
The chopped/seasoned/cooked mushroom stems from the mushrooms caps
Seasoned ground turkey

Really - the sky is the limit.

That's just it, I don't have recipes. Usually, I find portobellos on sale and buy them up. Then I get busy using them as platforms for using up leftovers. The ones where there is enough leftover for one good meal for one person, with the caps I can make it stretch to two people. This actually makes my leftover meals into healthier choices. So, I am either stuffing them or slicing them to add substance. I can't remember the last time I bought portobellos because I had a mushroom recipe to work with.

I need more coffee, that sounds so disjointed.
