How To Make grilled portabello and tomato snacks

  • Step 1
    Slice tomatoes in fairly thick slices, if you are using a smaller size portabello, you will need on one slice per portabello.
  • Step 2
    Drizzle olive oil on both sides of portabello and tomato slices. Sprinkle with cracked black pepper if desired.
  • Step 3
    Place on med heat grill and cook on both sides until tender. The tomatoes will cook quicker than the mushroom.
  • Step 4
    Remove and place portabello on plate, top with a little cheese and grilled tomato. If necessary you can pop into micro for a few seconds to melt cheese, or place several on a baking sheet and place in hot oven or low broiler just long enough to melt cheese.
  • Step 5
    Top with a healthy dallop of Thai chile paste and some fresh chopped cilantro. Salt to taste.
  • Step 6
    FYI I did not drizzle with balsamic vinegar but I bet that would add an awesome layer of flavor.
