Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for greasing grill pan
4 large portobello mushrooms (about 5 inches in diameter), stemmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 small to medium sized vine ripened tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 ounces fresh water-packed mozzarella, drained, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

Directions

Prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat).

Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over both sides of the mushrooms. Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil on grill pan to prevent mushrooms from sticking. Grill until the mushrooms are heated through and tender, about 5 minutes per side.

Meanwhile, whisk the extra-virgin olive oil and garlic in a medium bowl to blend. Add the tomatoes, cheese, and basil and toss to coat. Season the tomato salad, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Place 1 hot grilled mushroom gill side up on each of 4 plates. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper. Spoon the tomato salad atop the mushrooms, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to finish, about 1 tablespoon and serve.

A New Favorite Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So good, so good. I pan-fried it instead which tasted great although I almost lit the house on fire. It was worth it. I'll... be making this again, just on lower heat.Read more

Crowd winner
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Advantage and disadvantage of this dish is that it has to be made in front of the guests. It can really impress your guests... with its looks and taste of course. But any mishaps with the grilling (for someone so new like me) would end up leaving a burnt atmosphere in the house!! I didnt like it when left for a while because the mushroom tends to get soggy. Make sure to make tiny pieces of mozzarella so that you can handle easily. Read more

effortlessly delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

everyone loved it; I loved it most just because it was so easy to prepare and so yummy! It tastes just as good the next day,... after all the flavors have melded. If I can't find good, fresh tomatoes, I use the canned Italian ones with great results.Read more

Easy and Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very easy to make. I'm a little sensitive to the strength of raw garlic, and I still felt the need to add a bit more. It's a... hearty dish that's very flavorful and presents very well on the table. I will definitely make it again!!!Read more
