Portabella Tower

4 cups grilled vegetables (check for recipe in Kosherstreet)

12 large, whole portabella mushrooms

2 cups couscous

2 cups spinach

1 tsp. fresh garlic, minced

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Salt and pepper to taste

½ cup parmesan cheese

2 cups marinara sauce

Olive oil

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Clean out portabella mushrooms. First remove the stem and the inside fan-like debris from the underside of the mushrooms. Then wash thoroughly. With your hands, shmear the minced garlic into the cavity of the portabellas. Lay them top side down onto a 9×13 inch baking pan. Brush the portabella with a little olive oil. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until mushrooms become soft and slightly shriveled.

Place olive oil in a saucepan on low heat. Add garlic and spinach. Add couscous and mozzarella, salt and pepper, mix everything with a wooden spoon until combined.

In a small saucepan, heat marinara sauce.

-          Lay a second mushroom top down on top of the grilled vegetables
