Spoon this creamy grain mixture, packed with vegetables, onto broiled portobello caps for a whole meal on a mushroom. Ingredients:
6 medium portobello mushroom caps (about 1 1/2 pounds) |
2/3 cup 2% reduced-fat milk |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
cooking spray |
1/2 cup coarsely chopped carrot |
1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion |
5 garlic cloves, minced |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1 (10-ounce) bag fresh spinach (about 10 cups) |
1 cup cooked quick-cooking pearl barley |
1 cup (4 ounces) grated gruyère cheese, divided |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 cup fresh whole wheat breadcrumbs |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Remove brown gills from undersides of mushrooms using a spoon; discard gills.
3. Combine milk and flour, stirring with a whisk until blended.
4. Place a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add carrot and next 3 ingredients; sauté 5 minutes. Add spinach; sauté 4 minutes or until spinach wilts.
5. Stir in flour mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 1 to 2 minutes or until thick. Stir in cooked barley, 1/2 cup cheese, pepper, and nutmeg; cook 1 minute or until cheese melts.
6. Coat reserved mushroom caps with cooking spray; place on a broiler pan. Broil 5 minutes or until tender. Fill each cap with about 1/2 cup spinach-barley mixture, pressing firmly to pack. Broil 3 1/2 minutes.
7. Combine breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup cheese; sprinkle evenly on top of each mushroom. Broil 1 1/2 minutes or until cheese melts.
