Greetings. The spirit of May is a tribute to Moms ... ENJOY!

 

 Tip:

 

  Science suggests that we can experience about 150 different flavor sensations. Wine made from grapes can trigger almost all of them, more than any other single food or beverage. Thus, by adding wine to the menu you can turn an enjoyable experience into a memorable one.

May 2009 marks the 100th anniversary of Mother's Day!  Flowers are blooming, nature is in a state of rebirth and renewal.  And mothers everywhere are getting special attention from their families.   In celebration of all moms, we suggest this simple dish from Mother Earth to treat mom ... and everyone else!

 

Parmesan Portobello Mushrooms

1 T extra virgin olive oil

4 firm Portobello mushrooms (stems & gills removed)

3/4 C ricotta cheese

1/2 C shredded mozzarella cheese

1 clove garlic, minced

1 medium tomato, thinly sliced

1 T fresh thyme leaves

3 T grated parmesan cheese

 

Add oil to a heated ovenproof skillet.  Lay mushrooms cap-side down and cook 10 minutes, flip and cook 10 minutes on the other side.  Flip cap-side down again. 

 

Combine ricotta, mozzarella and garlic in a bowl.  Season with pepper to taste.  Spoon the mixture into evenly each mushroom cap, inside the pan.

 

Preheat broiler.  Arrange a few tomato slices on each mushroom and sprinkle evenly with thyme and parmesan.  Broil about 5 minutes (until tops turn golden brown).  Serve with fresh greens and sliced avocado.  Pair with Viognier.

 

ENJOY!  Victor & Kim Cruz
