When buying portobellos, look for those with a tight underside and lighter colored gills. If the gill area appears very dark and spread out, it is a sign of age.

Ingredients

Red wine vinegar

2 Tbsp

Shallot

2 Tbsp, chopped, (about 1 large)

Table salt

¼ tsp

Black pepper

¼ tsp, freshly ground

Olive oil

1½ tsp, divided

Portabella mushrooms

6 oz, sliced

Uncooked zucchini

2 small, thinly sliced lengthwise

French bread

1 loaf/loaves, medium

Semisoft goat cheese

½ cup(s), with herbs

Dried thyme

1 tsp

Tomato

1 large, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Combine first 4 ingredients; stir well with a whisk.
  2. Heat 11⁄2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place mushrooms in a single layer in pan; sauté 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until liquid is almost absorbed. Remove from pan and place in a large bowl. Cover and keep warm.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon oil to pan and place over medium heat. Cut zucchini slices in half crosswise. Place half of zucchini slices in pan; sauté 7 to 9 minutes or until zucchini is lightly browned. Repeat with remaining zucchini and 1 teaspoon oil. Remove from heat and place in bowl with mushrooms. Drizzle with red wine vinegar mixture and remaining 1 teaspoon oil; toss gently.
  4. Preheat broiler.
  5. Cut baguette crosswise into 4 pieces; cut each piece in half lengthwise. Place slices on a baking sheet, cut sides up, and broil 1 minute or until toasted.
  6. Combine goat cheese and thyme; spread evenly over toasted baguette slices. Layer 4 toast slices evenly with 1⁄4 of mushroom mixture and tomato slices. Top with remaining baguette slices. Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 sandwich).

Notes

Don't discard the thick woody stems; they make excellent stock or broth flavoring.
