Description
Portobello mushrooms with veggie lovers toppings, herbed nut cheese, and pine nuts. Perfect as a plant-based appetizer or entree with a glass of Pinot Noir!
Ingredients
- 6 medium/large portobello mushroom caps
- 4 cups vegetable broth + more as needed for marinade
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp dried basil
- 1 jar of your favorite pizza sauce
- 1/4 cup (or more) url:1]easy cashew cheese[/url] or herbed nut cheese
- 1 cup chopped vegetables (bell pepper, onion, black olives, cherry tomato, etc.)
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- crushed red pepper flakes
- vegan parmesan
- 1 bottle 90+ Cellars Collector’s Series Lot 164 Pinot Noir
Instructions
- First, clean your mushroom caps by wiping the top clean with a damp cloth. Gently cut off the stem and scoop out the gills with a spoon.
- Add the vegetable broth, garlic powder, oregano, and dried basil to a large baking dish and whisk with a fork to combine. Add the mushrooms to the mixture and toss with vegetable broth so they’re completely covered. Let the mushrooms marinade while you prepare the rest of the vegetables.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the mushrooms from the marinade and pat dry to remove any excess moisture. Add mushrooms the the baking sheet and top with several tablespoons of pizza sauce and herbed nut cheese. Divide chopped vegetables among the mushroom caps.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and add a sprinkle of pine nuts to each cap.
- Place back in the oven and continue to bake for 10-15 minutes, until the caps are wilted and vegetables are slightly browned on top.
- Remove from the oven and carefully drain any excess liquid from the pan (this is normal and won’t affect the taste!)
- Serve immediately with crushed red pepper flakes, vegan parmesan, and a glass of Pinot Noir.
