1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese (save enough to sprinkle on
the top)
2 Tbsp Rosemary Olive Oil (1Tbsp for mixture, 1 Tbsp for basting mix)
1/8 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, crushed
4 (5-inch) portobello mushroom caps
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, plus extra to drizzle over the top
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (1 Tbsp for mixture, 1Tbsp for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Prepare grill (350 degrees)

in a small bowl.
3. Remove brown gills from the undersides of mushroom caps using a spoon, and discard gills.

until soft.
7. Spoon 1/4 cup tomato mixture into each mushroom cap. Cover and grill 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Notes: Since the garlic isn't really cooked, the mushrooms have a strong garlic flavor. Grill the mushrooms stem sides down first, so that when they're turned they'll be in the right position to be filled. If you want to plan ahead, remove the gills and stems from the mushrooms and combine the filling, then cover and chill until ready to grill.
