Medium Portobello mushrooms; stemmed and cleaned  
Pound Fresh mozzarella cheese; sliced 1/2−inch thick  
Tablespoon Olive oil  
Cup Chopped onions  
Cup Water  
Teaspoon Chopped garlic  
Pound Arborio rice  
Tablespoon Unsalted butter  
/4 Cup Heavy cream  
/2 Cup Freshly grated Parmigiano−Reggiano cheese  
Tablespoon Chopped green onions; (scallions), green parts only  
Preheat the grill to 400 degrees. In a mixing bowl, toss the tomatoes with  
the olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook for 2 to 3  
minutes on each side. Remove from the grill and set aside. Preheat the oven  
to 400 degrees. Place the portobello mushroom on a parchment − lined baking  
sheet, cavity up. Drizzle both sides of the mushrooms with the olive oil.  
Season both sides with salt and pepper. Fan a quarter of the cheese over  
each cavity of the mushroom. Place in the oven and cook until the mushrooms  
are tender and the cheese is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Heat the olive oil in  
a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions. Season with salt and  
pepper. Saute until the onions are slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add the  
water and garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to medium,  
and simmer for about 6 minutes. Add the rice and simmer, stirring constantly  
until the mixture is creamy and bubbly, about 18 minutes. Stir in the  
butter, cream, cheese, and green onions. Simmer for about 2 minutes,  
stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in the tomatoes. To  
serve, slice each portobello into quarters. Spoon the risotto into each  
serving dish. Lay 2 slices of the portobello on top of the risotto. Garnish  
with parsley.
