Portobello Caprese

Portobello Caprese

Pane-Bistecca

We love mushrooms, any kind! A very quick and easy way to cook mushrooms is by filling the big portobello mushrooms. Be creative, you can fill them with anything; spinach, curd, cheese, avocado or like me, with a caprese filling.

Believe me, it’s very little work! Within a short time, you will have a starter or a side dish.

And this I found in the internet: “The super-sized portobello mushrooms have a XXL effect on well-being. They promote night vision, alleviate iron deficiency and stress, strengthen bones, heart and blood vessels, and are ideal for women with children or while breastfeeding.” (from: http://eatsmarter.de/)
