Ingredients

12 medium-sized portobello mushroom caps, wiped clean
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound baby spinach, washed and dried
4 ounces manchego cheese, thinly sliced into 8 pieces
Sherry Vinaigrette, recipe follows
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives, for garnish, optional

Directions

Heat grill to high. Brush mushroom caps on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, cap side down, until slightly charred, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the mushrooms over and continue grilling until just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes longer.

Stack the ingredients on each of 4 salad plates starting with a mushroom cap, a slice of cheese, some spinach, and a drizzle of Sherry Vinaigrette. Add another mushroom cap, more vinaigrette, spinach, and another slice of cheese. Place a third mushroom cap on top and finish by drizzling with additional vinaigrette and garnishing with chopped chives, if desired.

Sherry Vinaigrette:

1 small shallot, finely chopped

1/4 cup sherry vinegar or balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup olive oil

Whisk together the shallot, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified.

Sherry Vinaigrette:

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Superb!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband said this is the best vegetarian meal I have ever made! I spring vegetarian meals on him occasionally and he has... never said that before. I didn't stack them because that made them too difficult to eat and I tossed the spinach with the dressing first, but other than that everything else was the same and delicious. The grilled mushroom melted the manchego cheese and wilted the spinach slightly - so great. I will make these again and again.Read more

very tasty

This is a great recipe for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. A guest suggested that toasted (but not candied) pecans would... be a good addition, so will try that next time. Will definitely make this again.Read more

So much flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was a big hit! My husband and I eat a lot of vegetarian cuisine, but it's not always filling and satisfying. ... THIS recipe, however, was so satisfying and very filling. I served it with some oven-roasted potatoes with parmesan cheese to echo the parmesan on the portobellos (I did not use the manchego). We LOVED it with the parmesan and it complemented the vinaigrette very nicely. I also tried both the sherry vinegar as well as the balsamic and I very much preferred the balsamic (especially with the parmesan). I enjoyed the texture contrast of the fresh spinach with the softness of the mushrooms. I found that stacking the mushrooms made the dish fun...although two mushrooms was plenty with the potatoes. My favorite part about this dish is how EASY it is! I am planning on making this next time I entertain. A nice red wine with this and it tastes like a gourmet meal!Read more

Tasty

I really liked these. I have made them quite a few times. I don't stack them, just in a single layer. I also like to do... regular mushrooms with the vinaigrette and put them on salads.Read more

Great recipe

Everyone raved about this dish. However, I used provolone instead of Manchego, but it was fantastic anyway!
