4 Portobello mushrooms (the big ones, not the baby bellas)
Drizzle of balsamic vinegar (about 1 Tbsp per mushroom)
8 oz bag of fresh spinach
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ red bell pepper, chopped
½ medium onion or 1 small onion, peeled and chopped
½ large apple or 1 small, peeled and chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil plus more if necessary
½ tsp hot smoked paprika
1 cup gluten free breadcrumbs
1 Tbsp crushed or rubbed sage
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Remove stems from mushrooms and chop and reserve stems.
Scrape out gills and discard.
Poke inside of mushroom caps with a fork , drizzle with balsamic vinegar and set aside for about a half hour.
Heat a grill on low.
Meanwhile heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet, add spinach and wilt about 3 minutes.
Add minced garlic and a little salt and black pepper and cook about another 30 seconds until aroma comes.
Remove spinach and garlic to a cutting board.
Once cool enough, chop spinach.
Add remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil to skillet and sauté red bell pepper, onion, celery, and hot smoked paprika 2 minutes.
Add apple to skillet and sauté about another 3 minutes until vegetables are softened.
Add sage and breadcrumbs. Add a little more oil if pan is dry. Stir constantly until well-mixed and lightly toasted about 3 minutes.
Add spinach back in and stir to mix.
Place mushroom caps (not stuffed) on grill and cook cover down for 5 minutes. (If using charcoal, push coals to one side and cook on other side of grill.)
Turn mushroom caps over and grill 5 more minutes.
Stuff mushroom caps and grill about another 10 minutes until tender and stuffing is heated through.
