Main Dishes Recipes — By Ben on 20 January 2011
I love mushrooms, but I don’t cook mushrooms very often. It’s one of those things that you can’t explain yourself. If I love something so much, how come I don’t eat it more often… Anyway, my dad surprised me the other day with a 4-pack of portobello mushrooms. I opened the fridge one night and there they were, looking pretty and delicious. The following morning my mom asked how we were going to prepare them. I remembered that three years ago I made these stuffed portobello mushrooms and they were so delicious, but this time I let my mom come up with the filling and, of course, she didn’t disappoint.

Recipe type: Main
Note: You might want to add a little bit of jalapenos or chipotle peppers to give it a little kick.

- •2 TBSP olive oil
- •1/2 large onion, chopped
- •2 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions
- In a large saucepan sautee onions in olive oil. Add garlic and ground beef and cook until brown. Chop the stems of the mushrooms and add them to the meat.
- Add bell peppers, tomatoes, raisins and parsley. Season to taste.
- Cook for about 25 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Turn the mushrooms upside down and place 1 TBSP of butter on each one. Stuff with the meat.
- Mix cheeses in a medium bowl and top the mushrooms with it.
- Broil for about 10 minutes (if the mushrooms are small it will take less time) or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese brown and beautiful.
- Serve over lettuce leaves and enjoy.
¡Buen provecho!

I love mixing sweet and savory in my dinners and with the raisins and beef…you've done just that here! These sound delicious.

Stuffed portobellos are like filling a bowl with a bunch of good stuff, covering it in cheese, and then eating the bowl. These look like a complete meal – and they look freaking great.

I love stuffing portobellos! They're my 'steak.' The Mexican manchego sounds great on top of the filling.

Your Mom certainly didn’t disappoint! Picadillo-stuffed and cheese-topped mushrooms–with a bit of chile chipotle on the side???? Inspired. Beautiful photos as always, Ben.
