This easy vegetarian meal gets a double hit of umami from mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. Grill some crusty bread, then rub it with garlic and drizzle it with olive oil to serve alongside these stuffed portobello mushrooms.

Ingredients

  • 4 large portobello mushroom caps (about 1 pound total), gills removed if desired

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • ½ teaspoon salt plus a pinch, divided

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper plus a pinch, divided

  • 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 3 cups baby arugula

  • ½ cup slivered sun-dried tomatoes

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.

  2. Brush mushrooms with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill, gill-side up, for 5 minutes. Flip and continue grilling until tender, 6 to 10 minutes more.

  3. Meanwhile, mix ricotta, basil, Parmesan and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl.

  4. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and blot with paper towels to remove any liquid. Mound the ricotta filling in the caps. Grill until the filling is hot, 5 to 7 minutes.

  5. Toss arugula and sun-dried tomatoes in a medium bowl with lemon juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and pinch each of salt and pepper. Serve the salad with the mushrooms. Garnish with more basil, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
