Description

Imagine a hearty, vegetarian skillet that satisfies with its substantial texture and deeply comforting flavors. This dish begins with thick slices of portobello mushrooms, gently roasted to coax out their earthy sweetness and create a satisfyingly meaty texture. The roasting process intensifies their natural umami, adding a savory depth that forms the foundation of the entire dish.

These browned and tender mushrooms are then nestled into a creamy sauce, crafted to be both rich and subtly tangy. The sauce envelops each mushroom slice, clinging to its contours and infusing it with a luxurious coating. The creaminess is balanced by a bright acidity, preventing the dish from becoming overly heavy and adding a delightful complexity.

Fresh bell peppers, diced to a perfect bite-sized consistency, are stirred into the skillet, offering a contrasting crispness and a burst of fresh, vegetal flavor. Their slight sweetness plays beautifully against the savory mushrooms and tangy sauce, creating a harmonious blend of tastes. A generous handful of fresh spinach is wilted into the mixture at the very end, adding a vibrant green color and a delicate, slightly earthy note.

The spinach wilts just enough to become tender, but still retains a bit of its texture, providing a pleasant counterpoint to the softer elements of the dish. The overall experience is one of comforting indulgence, with a delightful interplay of textures and flavors. Each bite offers a combination of earthy mushrooms, creamy sauce, crisp bell peppers, and tender spinach, creating a symphony of sensations on the palate.

This vegetarian skillet is perfect as a satisfying main course, a hearty side dish, or even a flavorful filling for tacos or wraps. Its versatility and deliciousness make it a welcome addition to any meal. It's a dish that is both comforting and exciting, familiar and surprising, making it a true culinary delight.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 375 degrees and line a sheet tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Slice approx. 20-22, ½-inch thick slices from large portobello caps and lay them on the tray. Drizzle about a ¼ teaspoon of olive oil across each slice. Then, sprinkle the first amounts of salt and pepper and the italian seasoning over the slices.
    2.
    Bake the tray for just 10 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and set it aside for later. Melt the butter in a large skillet over low heat on the stove. Mince the garlic and toast it in the butter for 30-60 seconds. Whisk in the broth, second amounts of salt and pepper, and oregano.
    3.
    Bring the skillet to a simmer and toss in diced red bell pepper. Put a lid on the skillet and cook the peppers for about 5 minutes so they become tender. Remove the lid, and stir in chopped spinach and the heavy cream.
    4.
    Bring the skillet back to a simmer, then stir in the cream cheese until it is all melted and the sauce is lump free. Once the cream cheese is melted, add the mushroom slices to the skillet. Don’t stir the skillet anymore; just let the skillet simmer until the sauce reduces and thickens around the mushrooms.
    5.
    Serve immediately. This would go great with a garnish of parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper flakes, or fresh herbs.
