Warm Portobella and Pear Salad

This recipe is simple and elegant. Can be done on the grill or in the oven. Can be made vegan by omitting the cheese.

Ingredients:
4 portobella mushrooms
2 pears
Feta and walnuts for garnish
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp orange or other citrus juice
2 Tbsp maple syrup

Directions:
Slice pears in half and take out seeds and core. If using the oven, place pears cut-side-up and mushroom caps on a sheet pan.
Whisk olive oil, maple syrup and citrus together in a saucepan. Lightly brush the pears and mushrooms with the mixture. Put sheet pan in the oven and turn on broiler for about 5 minutes, or until just slightly browned. If using grill, grill pears and mushrooms until slightly browned or just softened. When finished, allow to cool slightly and slice.

Heat remaining marinade for about 5 minutes to reduce, stirring frequently.

Arrange mushrooms and pears and top with marinade. Sprinkle with feta and walnuts. If desired, serve on top of a bed of greens, rice or other grain.
