Portobello Mushrooms Stuffed with Chorizo

 On the menu tonight:


Portobello mushrooms stuffed with Chorizo 

Roasted Tomatillo Sauce

Seasoned Garbanzo beans and avocado on a bed of lettuce



Portobello mushrooms stuffed with Chorizo 

2 Portobello mushrooms 

1 lb good quality Chorizo (Johnsons or butcher made)


Stuff mushrooms with Chorizo 

Bake at 375 for 45 mins.


Top with grated cheese and sliced green onions to serve 


I only used half the Chorizo and froze the rest.


You can do this with small mushrooms and serve as Appetizers.


I saved the oil/ juice that cooked off the Chorizo and mushrooms. Put it in a Ziplock and froze. It can be added to soups, stews and chili to add a little boost of flavor.


Roasted Tomatillo Sauce

1 medium tomatillo diced

4 cherry tomatoes diced 

1 green onion chopped 

1/2 tsp minced garlic

Pinch of seasoning salt

Olive oil to coat the bottom of pan


Bake 375 40 minutes

30 crawfish tails( packaged pre shelled)

1 link andouille sausage sliced so each jar gets an equal amount 

3 small potatoes 

1 can corn drained

1 green onion chopped divided equally 

3 tb spoon crawfish boil for boiling


Directions 

Boil shrimp,  sausage slices, and cubed potatoes with the crawfish boil.  Remove shrimp as they float to top. Cook potatoes til done.

Drain canned corn

Divide corn evenly into the 3 jars. Sprinkle a little crawfish boil over corn for spice, slice one green onion and divide between the jars. Layer crawfish tails, shrimp, potatoes and top with 2 tb butter. I used garlic butter. 

These will go in the freezer til I need them for the Camp out.


To reheat I will steam til hot.
