Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter, adjust to taste
 - 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
 - 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
 - 1-2 tablespoons Vino Cotto di Montillo
 - 2 portobello mushrooms (approx. 3-inches round)
 
Directions:
- Coat an oven-proof glass dish with non-stick spray.
 - Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
 - Wash mushrooms and place them upside down on a plate to drain. Set aside.
 - In a medium skillet, add butter and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Melt margarine over low heat while stirring.
 - Add the bread crumbs to the skillet and toss frequently to evenly coat the crumbs. Remove from heat and set aside.
 - Drizzle vino cotto inside each mushroom to taste.
 - Fill with the bread crumb mixture.
 - Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the bread crumbs.
 - Bake for 8-10 minutes.
 - Loosely cover the mushrooms with tinfoil to prevent the bread crumbs from burning.
 - Continue baking until the mushrooms are tender.
 - Remove from heat and serve hot.
 - Variation: Before adding vino cotto into the mushrooms, combine vino cotto with a touch of distilled vinegar to taste. This creates a delicious balsamic vinegar. To provide a slightly sweet, acidic finish to the mushrooms, substitute straight vino cotto syrup with homemade balsamic vinegar. Follow remaining steps above.
