Portobello Delight

A few years ago, if you told me I would be eating mushrooms, I would have told you never.  If you had told me that I would enjoy it, I would have said you were crazy.  But I took a leap today & reluctantly bought 2 large portobello mushroom.  And I had one grilled mushroom stuffed with veggies for dinner.  And I think I may have found my new favorite food.

First I made a lite sauce, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Garlic, Onion, Ground Black Pepper & Tumeric.  I removed the stems of the mushrooms & covered them with my olive oil creation.  I placed the mushroom, gill side down, on a preheated and grilled until soft.  Then turned them over and stuffed them with Diced Peppers, Tomatoes, Onion & Chopped Kale.  I sprinkled a little grated Mozzarella cheese,  placed the cover over the pan for a few more minutes, until the cheese melted.

Served with a garden salad. 

I'm no chef.  I've really never been that great in the kitchen at all, but this was delicious. 
I think I'm starting to get the hang of this healthy thing.
I wonder where I'll leap tomorrow?
