Stuffed Portobello Mushroom

This is a great option for a dinner alone or a impressive side dish.

Large portabello mushrooms are typically in packs of two, so I make one for my solo dinner and save the other for lunch or dinner the next night. This also makes a delicious side dish. This is vegetarian but it would be delicious with Virginia Country Ham chopped in the spinach mixture.
