Independence dinner: Goat cheese and portobello




The starter of the dinner for the Finnish Independence Day is oven baked chevre-portobello mushroom. Portobellos can be replaced also with big champignons. Warm chevre gives the richness and taste the starter requires. The recipe is an adaptation of the recipe published in Pirkka-magazine.

Ingredients for four:
4 Portobello-mushroom
1 onion
200 g goat cheese (Chevre)
2 tomato
turnip rape oil
0,5 dl pesto
pine seeds
black pepper

Chop the legs of the mushroom and onion. Fry them in turnip rape oil, add pesto and season with black pepper. Slice tomato and chevre, one slice per person. Spread the onion-pesto mixture on the inside of the mushroom caps. Add tomato and chevre slices and decorate with few pine seeds. Bake in 225 C for about ten minutes or until the cheese gets some color.
