Ingredients
- 6portabella caps, stems removed and saved or discarded
- 3garlic cloves
- 3⁄4cup panko (Japanese-style) breadcrumbs
- ½teaspoon dried basil
- ¾teaspoon dried oregano
- 2tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- ¼teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- ¼teaspoon lemon zest
- ½teaspoon sea or kosher salt
- ½teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
- ¾cup grated Parmesan
- 6portabella caps, stems removed and saved for a separate use or discarded
Preparation
- 1.Fit the grill with the grill plates and preheat both plates to 450˚F.
- 2.While the unit is preheating, chop the garlic in a Cuisinart Food Processor or Chopper. Add the panko, herbs, zest, salt and pepper and process until combined. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add 2 tablespoons of oil and the Parmesan. Reserve.
- 3.Brush the tops and bottoms of the mushrooms with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Place on the lower preheated grill plates and using the cover height adjuster, gently close so that the upper plate is just slightly touching the tops of the mushrooms. Grill 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until grill marks are visible.
- 4.Keeping the top plate at 450˚F, reduce the bottom plate to Warm. Open the grill and evenly divide the mushroom mixture among the tops of the grilled portabellos. Setting the cover height adjuster at the highest notch, close the upper plate until it is sitting just above the mushrooms. Let the mushrooms brown until the breadcrumb mixture is toasted, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- 5.Serve immediately.
