Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Gently clean the Portobello mushroom caps with a damp cloth to remove any dirt.
- Remove the stems and gently scrape out the gills with a spoon to make space for the filling, if desired.
3. Cook the Shallots:
- Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped shallot and sauté until it becomes translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed shallot, diced tomato, a dash of salt, a dash of black pepper, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, crumbled feta cheese, and julienned spearmint leaves. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Place the mushroom caps on a baking sheet, gill side up.
- Evenly divide the filling mixture among the mushroom caps, pressing gently to ensure the filling stays in place.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is heated through.
- Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
- Optionally, garnish with additional fresh mint leaves for extra flavor and presentation.
Tips:
- For added depth of flavor, marinate the Portobello mushroom caps in olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- To ensure even cooking, choose mushrooms that are similar in size and thickness.
- If you prefer a more intense flavor, grill the mushrooms instead of sautéing them.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best taste and aroma.
- Add the spearmint leaves just before serving to keep them vibrant and fresh.
- Feel free to experiment with additional herbs such as basil or oregano, which pair well with the ingredients in this recipe.
