Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
Portobello Mushrooms - These are the best kind of mushrooms to use to make this recipe. Portobellos are meaty, earthy, and easy to stuff, not to mention that they taste great cooked this way.
Panko - Panko bread crumbs are Japanese-style bread crumbs and have a more coarse texture than traditional bread crumbs and make a great filling for stuffed portobellos.
Panko can be substituted with regular bread crumbs.
Diced tomatoes - Fresh or canned diced tomatoes can be used to make this recipe. When tomatoes are in season, I use fresh otherwise I use low-sodium tomatoes. You can also use your favorite homemade marinara sauce or prepared sauce.
