The Original Foreplay Funghi

3 Comments

Foreplay Funghi started life as an iVillage recipe finder recipe called Portobello Napoleons, then both Food Julia and myself fussed with it. In other words, this is not a retro recipe at all, unless of course, just under 5 years ago makes it old enough for retro..

Grilled Vegetable Napoleons

Serves: 4

Ingredients

1/2 tsp or so of crushed garlic
herbs, (basil, thyme, etc)
olive oil
salt and pepper
balsamic vinegar
6 Portobello mushrooms
1 eggplant
1 zucchini
1 red bell pepper
8 oz ricotta cheese
1 beaten egg
parmesan cheese
1lb fresh mozzarella

  1. Combine garlic, herbs, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper to make a marinade. (Your favorite vinaigarette recipe works great)
  2. Slice vegetables and place them in a ziplock bag.
  3. Pour the marinade mix over the vegetables and shake. Let stand 5-15 min.
  4. Grill the vegetables.
  5. In a medium sized bowl, mix the ricotta and beaten egg, a bit of parmesan, salt and pepper.

    Mushrooms are good but they got me in all sorts of trouble! More trouble than socks even.
