These stuffed portobellos have been a favorite of our members since they were first featured way back in March 2014 and even earned a spot on our sample menus. Savory, flavorful and with a unique side of kale "chips," we thought it was time to bring this one back.

Prep
Roasted red peppers - Drain, rinse and chop. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
Make mushroom filling - Mix together feta, red peppers, panko, and Italian seasonings.
Kale - Peel off leaves and discard stems. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
Tomatoes - Slice.
Make tartar sauce - Mix together mayo, chopped capers, and lemon juice. Salt to taste.
Make
Preheat oven to 300F / 149C degrees.
Spread kale leaves onto a sheet pan. Use two pans if they’re too packed on one. Toss with olive oil and then bake for 8 to 12 minutes until leaves are crispy. If they start to brown too much at the edges, they’re definitely done! Sprinkle with some salt right out of the oven.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then place portobellos cap side up. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes and then flip. Lightly salt and pepper and then spoon in pepper and cheese filling into mushrooms. Cover with foil and cook until mushroom is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
Warm up buns in the oven. Assemble sandwiches with stuffed mushrooms, tartar sauce, and sliced tomatoes. Enjoy with kale chips!
