Of the rainbow and cokodok.....

Past few days were gloomy here in the state. The sun was out but shy away just few hours later and came the cloud, the wind and the rain!

But that's outside.

Inside makcik's kitchen, it was a hive of activities, with rainbow being the theme....it seems :)

I did quite a few but i just put the rainbow ones.....

Stuffed Portobello

Mushroom.

Portobello or portabella, according to en Wiki, originates from Europe or Northern America.

But makcik got it from Tesco je....

I was attracted to it by the size; two pcs with 4" diameter and another 3 slightly smaller....

Portobello Mushroom

Stuffed

The stuffed:

I used ingredients that were available in my kitchen......

Asparagus, small piece of lobster my sister brought back from Sabah recently, onion, garlic.

Saute crushed garlic in butter and add the rest, cook for a while, add salt & pepper to taste.

The Mushrooms:

Remove stem & clean. Brush butter or drizzle olive oil on mushroom. Sprinkle salt and pepper.

Bake/grill for abt 20 mins.

The assembly

Arrange portobello in tray with stem side up. Put in stuffed, top with cheese. I also put cili flakes on top of cheese. Bake/grill until cheese slightly browned.

Serve with roast chicken wings/mash potato/salad

Thanks to Allah for providing enough of everything as many out there are not as fortunate.

Let's do our bit whenever and wherever we can. Read more
