Recipe - Stuffed Marinated Portabella Mushrooms

FOR MARINADE
2/3 cup Fat Free Italian Salad
Dressing; (Wishbone
type)divided
One half cup Dry red wine
4 lg Portabella mushrooms; (each
5/6 inches in diameter,
about 1 pound total)

FOR STUFFING
2 md Vidalia onions minced medium
One half cup Carrot roughly chopped
One half cup Spicy sprouts
1 One half cup Fine fresh bread crumbs;
divided
1/3 Block extra firm tofu; minced
into 1/8" pieces
2 tablespoon Fat free mayonnaise
1 teaspoon White horseradish
1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast flakes

Marinate minced tofu in 1/3 C. Italian dressing for at least 30 minutes or
overnight.

Discard stems from mushrooms and scrape out gills. Marinate mushrooms in
remaining Italian dressing and wine by placing in plastic bag and squeezing
out as much air as possible before sealing. Turn bag occasionally while
marinating.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Make stuffing: Saut‚ onion and carrot in a small amount of water until
soft. Keep adding water if they start to dry out. When vegetables are done
add tofu with marinade to skillet and saut‚ until most of the liquid is
gone. Turn off heat and add sprouts, 1 One fourth C. crumbs, mayonnaise,
horseradish and yeast flakes. Stir until well blended.

Remove mushrooms from bag reserving marinade. Arrange mushrooms hollow side
up in a 12x9x2 pan. Divide stuffing among mushrooms and press gently and
evenly into caps. Sprinkle remaining One fourth cup crumbs over mushroom stuffing
and spritz lightly with cooking spray. (olive oil or Italian seasoned is
preferred). Pour reserved marinade around mushrooms. Liquid should come at
least One half inch up sides of the pan. If not add more wine, salad dressing or
water. Bake in middle of the oven for 30 minutes or until stuffing is
golden brown.

I served these cold, cut or sliced up and arranged neatly on a platter surrounded by
mesculun. They could also be served hot over rice.

Serves 4 as hearty first course or light main course. Nutrition info. not
