Serves 4

• 4 oz. Gorgonzola or other blue cheese, crumbled 
• 1 cup sour cream 
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise

• 1 tsp. minced garlic
• 1 salt and pepper

• 2 romaine hearts
• 1 roasted red pepper, peeled, seeded and cut into 4 pieces

Mash the cheese to a paste. Stir in the sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar and garlic. Season to taste. 

Remove the stem from the mushroom and scrape out the gills with a small spoon. Score the tops in a cross-hatch pattern. Season the mushrooms with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill or broil, 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through.
