Grilled Portobello Mushrooms with Mozzarella and Tomatoes

Description:
I love mushrooms, never mind that sometimes I think I overdo it and have a pain in my joints after eating bushels of 'em *grin*

Because I usually can access portobello mushrooms, I grabbed the recipe from the internet.



Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for greasing grill pan
4 large portobello mushrooms (about 5 inches in diameter), stemmed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 small to medium sized vine ripened tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 ounces fresh water-packed mozzarella, drained, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
Prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat) or griller.

Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over both sides of the mushrooms.
Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and pepper.
Drizzle olive oil on grill pan to prevent mushrooms from sticking.
Grill until the mushrooms are heated through and tender, about 5 minutes per side.

Whisk the extra-virgin olive oil and garlic in a medium bowl to blend.
Add the tomatoes, cheese, and basil and toss to coat.
Season the tomato salad, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Place 1 hot grilled mushroom gill side up on each of 4 plates.
Sprinkle with more salt and pepper.
Spoon the tomato salad atop the mushrooms, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to finish, about 1 tablespoon and serve.

  10. No, I don't think so. Magic mushrooms contain psychoactive or hallucinogenic compounds. They're banned in many countries but legal in Spain, Austria, and CANADA (dami sa bundok malapit dito sa bahay).
