Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms with Olives and Caramelized Onions
Ingredients:
Four 4-inch portobello mushroom caps
Cooking spray
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 cups finely chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme, divided
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Three 1-ounce slices of white bread
1/3 cup (about 1-1/2 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
Remove stem and brown gills from undersides of mushrooms using a spoon; discard gills. Place mushrooms, stem side down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350-degrees for ten minutes; cool mushrooms on a wire rack.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute 12 minutes. Stir in wine, vinegar, 1-teaspoon thyme, and salt; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 25 minutes. Uncover and increase heat to medium-high; cook five minutes or until liquid evaporates. Stir in olives, rind and pepper.
Place the bread in a food processor; pulse ten times or until coarse crumbs measure 1-1/2 cups. Combine 1-teaspoon thyme, crumbs, cheese and parsley. Spoon 1/2 cup olive mixture into each mushroom; top with about 3/4-cup cheese mixture. Bake at 350-degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Recipe makes four servings; one stuffed mushroom each.
