Ingredients
- 3small tomatoes, halved
- 5tablespoons olive oil
- 1tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2cloves garlic, minced
- 1tablespoon fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
- 1¼teaspoons salt
- ¼teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4small (4- to 5-inch) portobello mushrooms, stems removed
- 4ounces chanterelle mushrooms
- 4ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
- 2small red onions, each cut into 8 wedges
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Place the tomatoes cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 3 hours. Remove from the oven and slice each half in half again and set aside.
- Step 2
Raise the oven temperature to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper to make a vinaigrette. Add portobellos and toss until thoroughly coated. Place portobellos, gill-side down, on a baking sheet. If the chanterelles are large, halve or quarter them; cut the shiitakes into thick slices. Add the chanterelles, shiitakes and onions to the bowl with the vinaigrette and toss until thoroughly coated. Transfer the mushrooms and onions to another baking sheet. Place both baking sheets in the oven and roast until very tender and nicely browned, about 35 to 40 minutes.
- Step 3
Place the portobellos gill-side up on a platter. Combine the tomatoes with the mushroom-onion mixture. Divide the mixture among the portobello caps, mounding it in the middle of each. Reheat briefly in the oven if necessary, garnish with thyme and serve immediately.
Private Notes
Comments
After roasting the tomatoes, I removed the skin, more for appearance sake when mixed with the mushroom-onion mixture.
Made this for a dinner party as a side to Bolognese pasta and as an entree option for vegetarians. It was a big hit with everyone. Not sure if it’s worth the time (roasting tomatoes for 3hrs) or the money (chanterelles are not inexpensive) for a regular weeknight dinner. Next time might substitute with canned whole stewed tomatoes and with whatever other mushrooms are in season. But definitely can’t go wrong with portobello mushrooms.
