    Categories: Cooking liv, Import
    Yield: 1 Servings

    4 Portobello mushrooms; whole
    4 tb Balsamic vinegar
    Vegetable oil spray
    1/2 c Low-sodium vegetable broth
    1/2 c Water
    1/4 ts Turmeric
    2/3 c Couscous
    1/4 c Dried cranberries
    1/2 ts Grated lemon rind
    1/4 ts Salt
    1 ts Olive oil
    2 Cloves garlic
    6 oz Fresh collard greens or
    -kale; or 8 ounces fresh
    -spinach, chopped (about 4
    -cups)
    2 tb Water
    1 tb Light margarine
    1/2 Red bell pepper; finely
    -chopped

    In the top of each mushroom, cut 4 slits, each 2 to 3 inches long and
    about 1/2-inch deep. Remove stems. Place mushrooms, top side up, in a
    shallow casserole dish. Sprinkle mushrooms with half the balsamic
    vinegar. Lightly spray top side of mushrooms with vegetable oil
    spray. Turn mushrooms over and sprinkle with remaining vinegar.
    Lightly spray bottom side with vegetable oil spray. Cover container
    with plastic wrap and set aside. (Will keep in refrigerator for up to
    1 hour.)

    Combine vegetable broth, water, and turmeric in a medium saucepan.
    Bring to a boil over high heat, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the couscous,
    cranberries, lemon rind, and salt. Remove the pan from heat and let
    stand, covered, for at least 5 minutes, or until time to serve.

    Meanwhile, heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and swirl
    to coat bottom of pan. When oil is hot, add garlic. Cook for 1
    minute. Add the collard greens and 2 tablespoons water. Cook,
    covered, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until greens are tender. Add the
    margarine and stir until it melts, about 30 seconds. Remove pan from
    heat and cover to help retain heat.

    Grill mushrooms over medium hot coals (or medium-high heat if using
    gas, electric, propane, or stove-top grill) for 2 to 3 minutes on
    each side. Place mushrooms stem side up on serving plates. Spoon
    couscous on top of each mushroom. Spoon greens on top of couscous.
    Sprinkle with bell pepper. Serve warm.

    Yield: 4 servings
