Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1  red bell pepper
  • 1  yellow bell pepper
  • 1  sweet onion
  • 1/4  cup  white wine vinegar
  • 2  tablespoons  olive oil
  • 1  garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4  cup  chopped fresh basil
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground pepper
  • 8  portobello mushroom caps
  • 4  (1-ounce) slices part-skim mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Cut each bell pepper into 8 strips; cut onion into 8 slices.

Combine vinegar and next 5 ingredients in a shallow dish or large zip-top plastic bag; add bell pepper and onion. Cover or seal, and chill 30 minutes. Add mushroom caps; cover or seal, and chill, turning occasionally, 30 more minutes.

Remove vegetables from marinade, reserving marinade; set mushroom caps aside.

Grill remaining vegetables, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 10 minutes or until partially charred.

Place 4 mushroom caps upside down, and top evenly with grilled vegetables and cheese slices; place remaining mushroom caps, right side up, over cheese.

Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) until cheese melts, turning once. Serve with reserved marinade.
