Portobello Stacks with Ground Pork, Pepper, Tomato & Fresh MozzarellaPortobello Stacks with Ground Pork, Pepper, Tomato & Fresh Mozzarella — a 35-minute dinner recipe with 10 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 ½ (227 g) pkg fresh mozzarella cheese

3 green bell peppers

1.02 kg lean ground pork

12 caps portobello mushrooms

3 tomatoes

black pepper

crushed red pepper

extra virgin olive oil

Italian seasoning

Instructions

Preheat oven to broil on high and position rack about 6-inches from the top. Line two large baking sheet pans with aluminum foil to make clean up easier (optional).

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Remove stems from the mushrooms and carefully scrape out the gills. Place on one baking sheet, rub with oil, and season with salt and pepper on both sides; arrange gill-side down.

Place mushrooms in the oven and broil, flipping halfway through cooking, until tender, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add pork and spices; cook, breaking apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, 6-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

While the pork cooks, trim and discard top and bottom portions of the bell peppers, then cut each crosswise into 4 rings; remove seeds. Arrange on the second baking sheet in a single layer; drizzle with oil.

When the mushrooms are done, place pepper rings in the oven and broil until fork-tender, about 4 minutes.

Meanwhile, slice tomatoes crosswise into rounds.

Thinly slice mozzarella.

When the broiled peppers are ready, remove from oven. Place a bell pepper ring on top of each mushroom; fill with ground pork, then layer with tomato and mozzarella.

Place mushroom stacks in the oven and broil until cheese is melted and golden, 2-3 minutes. Remove from oven.

To serve, divide mushroom stacks between plates and sprinkle with crushed red pepper; enjoy!
