Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

ingredients
Filling
10 ounces baby spinach leaves, rinsed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1 cup finely diced ripe tomato
1/4 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/4 cup pitted and coarsely chopped Kalamata olives
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Mushrooms
4 large portobello mushrooms (5-6 inch diameter size)
1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt, more to taste
1/4 cup fine soft bread crumbs
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
directions
For Filling: In a large saucepan over high heat, cook the spinach just until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Transfer the spinach to a sieve and drain until cooled. Squeeze out the remaining liquid with your hands, and then roughly chop the spinach.
Wipe out the saucepan and warm olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until golden, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
Add the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, salt and pepper. Cook until all the moisture has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Remove and discard the mushroom stems. With a teaspoon, carefully scrape out the black gills from the mushroom caps and discard.
Generously brush or spray the mushroom caps with oil and season them with salt.
Grill mushrooms, smooth sides up, over Direct Medium heat until well marked, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a work surface, smooth sides down.
Spoon a thin layer of the filling onto the mushrooms, spreading it evenly to the edges.
In a small bowl, toss the bread crumbs with olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle each stuffed mushroom evenly with a thin layer of crumbs.
Grill the mushrooms, smooth sides down, over direct medium heat until the crumbs are browned and the mushrooms are tender, 5 to 10 minutes more.
Serve warm.

Delicious! Made filling with forzen spinach, much easier. Folded in the fresh tomatoes in the end so they stayed juicy. Used reg mushrooms and served as appetizers at BBQ, everyone LOVED them!
