Feeling the need for some serious protein, I did a bit of an experiment tonight. I had bought the ingredients to make a tuna melt, but instead of broiling it on top of bread, I thought I would try substituting a portobello mushroom cap. Success! I simply sprayed the cap with a little cooking spray and roasted it on its own at 450 degrees for 6 minutes or so before topping it with the tuna mixture, local heirloom tomato slices, reduced fat cheddar and some spices. Back under the broiler for 5 minutes, and voila!
I used a recipe from Eating Well a while back to teach myself how to make a tuna melt in the first place, but have made my own modifications. I don't care for mayonnaise, so I substituted Greek yogurt, nor do I care much for fresh parsley, so I sprinkled in my own dried herbs. I also threw in a dash of Adobo in lieu of shallots, but that's because I'm lazy. Alongside some steamed green beans with almonds, this was total comfort food made healthy.
Now, whenever I see portobello mushrooms, the same thing inevitably happens: I get that Portobello Road song from Bedknobs and Broomsticks in my head. I was totally humming it while I cooked dinner, so I wanted to stick the YouTube video of it in here, but I am embedding-challenged and I can't make it work. This is the link if you are feeling in the mood for some quality Disney cheese.
Lastly, you may not have noticed, but I purchased a domain for Soap & Chocolate, so from now on you will now find me at http://www.soapandchocolate.com/! I'm kinda proud of this step because I am feeling far more committed to this blog than I ever was before - it's important to me for a number of reasons. Don't worry if you forget the new URL because http://dianadove.blogspot.com/ will automatically redirect to this site. Just thought you might be interested that I'm a real grown-up blogger now, and you can even email me at diana@soapandchocolate.com!
Til next time, happy eats!
