Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

For the Stuffing:
3 slices (thick-sliced) bacon, chopped
1 granny smith apple, peeled, seeded, & chopped
1 small yellow onion, chopped
3 baby bok choys, cut in 1/2 lengthwise then shredded
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp good apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup panko
1/3 cup crumbled chevre
kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

2 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed and black "gills" scraped off
canola oil
freshly grated parmesan
kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place a saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon to the pan. Cook the bacon, stirring
occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and most of the fat has rendered out.

Pour out all but 1 1/2 tbsp (you can approximate) of the rendered fat from the pan. Add the chopped onions and apple to the pan with the remaining 1 1/2 tbsp fat. Saute the
onions and apple over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the
onions are translucent and the apples are soft.

Add the bok choy and garlic to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring a couple
of times.

Deglaze the pan with the apple cider vinegar, scraping the bottom of the pan to get up all the bits. Allow the vinegar to cook off for another minute then add the parsley to the pan.

Remove the pan from the heat then add the panko. Stir to combine thoroughly. Season the
mixture to taste with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Prepare the mushroom caps: brush the mushrooms with canola oil and season with kosher
salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Place the caps on a baking sheet.

Add the crumbled chevre to the slightly cooled filling mixture, stir to combine.

Pile 1/2 of the stuffing into each of the seasoned caps then top with parmesan cheese.

Bake at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until the portobello is cooked through and the
parmesan has started to turn golden brown.
