Lentil Stuffed Portobellos :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Ready.Chef.GO! ::























Microwave high for 3 mins or 450 oven or 20 to 30 mins
Per porto recipe. Typically 2 portos per bag

For each porto (remove stems for another use)
1/2 Tsp Soy Sauce
1/8 Tsp Everson California Garlic Medley or Flavored Salt & Spice Blend

1/4 Cup Cooked Lentils or Favorite Grain Medley
1/4 Cup Kale or Greens, chiffonade
3 Cherry Tomato Halves
2 Tbs Feta or Crumbled Cheese
3 Basil Leaves
Scallions, long diagonal sliced

Salsa and marinara, citrus & grated cheese for garnish



Sprinkle the soy sauce and seasoning into the mushroom caps & let marinate at room temp for 30 mins or so.  Grill or roast for 6 to 9 mins.  Layer in the cooked lentils, kale, cheese, tomatoes, basil & scallions.  Load into bags & seal.

REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS: Microwave high for 3 mins or 450 oven or 20 to 30 mins.  Let rest for 2 mins before opening the bag.  Garnish w/ salsa or marinara sauce, grated cheese & wedges of fresh citrus

NOTE:  Ready.Chef.GO! bags allow for excellent texture in the microwave & fast high heat cooking in the oven.  The results are always succulent & tender.  You’ll taste the difference.  This is a hearty meatless meal option for lent, meatless Mondays, vegetarian displays and more.  Fast & easy to assemble.  Use a variety of seasonal vegetables & wild mushrooms to showcase specialty produce

POINT OF SALE DISPLAY:  Sell with a full variety of Mexican, Italian, Spanish & French red sauces like salsa, marinara, tomato Vodka sauce, romesco & fresh tomato & herb concasse.  Pack the display with gourmet lentils as an opportunity to showcase the wide variety of these specialty grocery products. Add gourmet artisan breads, fun appetizers for anti-pasta such as olives, roasted peppers, marinated vegetables & cheeses, & gigantic beans.  Add fresh salads, grilled vegetables, fresh salad dressings, drinks & desserts.  Display fresh citrus & grated cheeses for additional garnish

LENTIL NOTE:  Use canned or frozen cooked lentils or favorite grain medley.  Or cook dry lentils using this simple method.  Lentils come in many varieties today.  I used small black beluga lentils.  


EASY COOKED LENTILS
1 Cup Lentils, soaked for several hours or sprouted
1 1/2 Cups Water to cover
(Opt) 1/2 Tsp Salt

Bring to a boil covered.  Reduce heat to med high and simmer covered for 15 to 18 mins until most of the water is absorbed.  Allow to cool covered until ready to use.
