This nutrient-packed meal is really filling. Vary the types of beans each time you make it: Great Northern, flageolet, navy and pinto are all tasty.
 

Ingredients

2 Tbsp olive oil, divided   
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar   
4 large portobello mushroom(s), remove, mince and reserve stems   
1/2 medium sweet red pepper(s)   
1/2 medium yellow pepper(s)   
1 spray(s) cooking spray   
1 1/2 cup(s) canned white beans, drained and rinsed   
1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice   
3 medium garlic clove(s), finely minced (or to taste)   
3 medium scallion(s), chopped   
1 large tomato(es), seeded and chopped   
1 tsp fresh sage, or rosemary, finely chopped   
1 tsp table salt   
1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste   

Instructions

  • Preheat grill (or grill pan) to medium.

  • Combine 1 tablespoon of oil and vinegar in a cup; brush mixture over top of mushroom caps and let sit 5 to 10 minutes to release juices.

  • Grill mushrooms, stem side down, brushing with any extra oil mixture/juices, until slightly tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Turn mushrooms over and grill until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes more.

  • Meanwhile, lightly coat pepper halves with cooking spray; grill, skin-side down, until skin starts to blister, about 3 to 5 minutes; coarsely chop peppers.

  • Place peppers in a medium bowl. Add beans, minced mushroom stems, remaining tablespoon of oil, lemon juice, garlic, scallions, tomato, sage, salt and black pepper; toss well to coat.

  • Reduce grill heat to low or move mushrooms to a higher rack level. Spoon vegetable mixture into mushroom caps. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Yields 1 filled mushroom per serving.
