How to Make Grilled Stuffed Mushrooms

We’re going to make some stuffed Portabello mushrooms. But first, what we need to do is actually get the mushrooms on the grill.

So, we’re going to just put a little oil on top of the mushrooms. And also, if you’ll notice, if you look at the mushroom, I mean they’re pretty thick and dense. So basically, you want to put some oil right into the ribs of the mushrooms and it absorbs all that nice oil.

So let’s put the mushrooms on the cap side down to start them. We want it to be nice and tender all the way through. We want it to maintain their shape so that we can stuff them with the wild rice that will actually hold on to it.

We can actually start to make our mixture for the mushroom caps. So, we have some cooked wild rice. And the thing about wild rice is you really want to cook it almost to the point where it’s actually overcooked. You want it to actually flour. Okay. So that you still go and get that nutty flavor but you want it to be nice and tender.

Through this, we’re going to add some herbs. We have some parsley. We have some rosemary and a little bit of fresh thyme and these herbs are very strong so we actually want to chop this up fairly fine. Put a little salt and pepper. I was going to stir in some onions and some garlic that we’ve cooked. This is actually going to be the stuffing or the filling for the wild mushrooms.

So, we have our mushrooms and we have our wild rice. We’re going to stuff the wild rice in to the mushrooms. At this point, it becomes really easy. So, we’re going to take the mushroom caps.

So, we’re going to actually stuff the mushrooms now with the wild rice filling but just don’t overdo it. I mean, really let the mushroom shine. Plus, we’re going to put a little bit of our Piquillo red pepper vinegar right on top. Again, just a little bit for some extra flavor and moisture and also it’s just a beautiful color as well.

So, I’m going to take some of the toasted almonds that we’ve toasted off. I will just sprinkle a little bit of the toasted almond right on top for the mushroom just a little bit for that thumbnail finish.

It’s almost Thanksgiving time.
