This recipe was so yummy! Ben and I both really loved it and we will definitely add it to our list of regular meals. I wouldn't call it easy, more like an easy moderate. The steps aren't hard or anything, they are just time consuming. It will take about 20 minutes to prep and you can't walk away during the middle of it. We only cooked the Mushrooms for about 18 minutes, but I think our caps were smaller than called for (we had 6). Rosemary sour cream skin in mashed potatoes went really well with the dish.
1. Wipe the portobellos clean with a paper towel and scrape out the gills with a spoon. Drizzle enough olive oil in the bottom of a glass baking dish to coat. Place portobello caps in the baking dish, top down, drizzle with oil, and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 450F.
3. Brown sausage in a large skillet with a little bit of olive oil and the crushed red pepper over medium high heat.
4. While the sausage is browning, dice the onion, fennel, and bell pepper, chop the celery, and slice the garlic as thin as you can get it. Remove the rosemary leaves from the stems and finely chop.
5. Add the veggies and garlic and rosemary to the skillet and saute with the sausage until crisp-tender, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Add the wine to deglaze the pan and allow to cook for another 5 minutes or so.
7. Stir in the shredded cheese and bread cubes. The bread cubes should soak up whatever wine remains in the pan.
8. Taste it at this point, and add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (or more red pepper!). Stir in the beaten egg. The stuffing mixture should seem a little wet.
9. Mound stuffing mixture into portobello caps. It’s ok to pack it down a little bit to make sure that it stays in place.
10. Sprinkle with a little extra shredded cheese. Bake at 450F for 35-40 minutes, or until the portobello is tender and the stuffing is golden brown.
