Grilled Stuffed Portobellos





2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar


1 large lemon, juiced


2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce


2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more, for drizzling


4 medium to large portobello mushroom caps


Coarse salt and black pepper, or grill seasoning spice blend


3 large, firm plum tomatoes, seeded and diced


2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves finely chopped to about 2 tablespoons


1/2 pound fresh smoked mozzarella, thinly sliced





Serving suggestions: garlic toasts or grilled crusty bread, Grilled Tuna Steaks


Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl or large food storage plastic bag. Coat mushroom caps evenly in marinade.


Place mushroom caps on the grill cap-side-up and season with grill seasoning or salt and pepper. If you are using an indoor tabletop electric grill, preheat to 400 degrees F or ';high'; setting. If you are using an outdoor gas grill, preheat to medium high; for a charcoal grill, prepare coals and cook mushrooms 6 inches from hot coals. Mushrooms will cook 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Cook mushrooms covered or under tin foil tent and turn occasionally. Combine tomatoes, rosemary, and smoked mozzarella. Drizzle with oil and toss.


Fill mushroom caps with tomato mixture and top with sliced mozzarella. The mushrooms will look like small pizzas. Place caps in oven at 425 degrees F until cheese melts or you can close grill lid or replace tin foil tent over mushroom caps to melt cheese, it will take 1 to 3 minutes. Serve as-is or, place stuffed caps on garlic toast or sliced crusty bread to catch the juices.
