1Food Prep
First, in a small saucepan, combine the ingredients for the balsamic-miso pan sauce, and heat over medium heat until the liquid starts to boil, about 5 minutes. Then, remove the pan from the heat and pour ¼ cup of the mixture into a small bowl, reserving it for the salad dressing.
Next, in a small bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onions and basil.
Finally, apply 1 tbsp. olive oil to the outside of each portobello mushroom cap, and season them with salt.

3The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Grill the mushroom caps directly over the coals for 1 minute on each side.
Remove them from the grill and fill each cap with ⅓ cup of the tomato, onion and basil mixture. Drizzle generously with balsamic-miso pan sauce.
Next, put the stuffed mushroom caps on the cooler side of the grate, away from the coals. Close the grill lid and cook until the mushrooms soften, about 15 minutes.
For the salad dressing: Whisk ¼ cup of olive oil and the lemon juice into the ¼ cup of reserved balsamic-miso pan sauce.
Make 4 individual beds of arugula. Place a stuffed mushroom cap on top of each bed.
Top with feta cheese and drizzle with the salad dressing.
