Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large Portobello Mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme or Rosemary (finely chopped)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan or Vegan Cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently clean the Portobello mushroom caps by wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt. Carefully remove the stems and, if you like, scrape out the gills using a spoon to create more room for seasoning or stuffing.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and your choice of fresh herbs. This simple marinade infuses the mushrooms with bold flavor before cooking.
  3. Marinate the Mushrooms: Brush or spoon the marinade over each mushroom cap generously, making sure both the inside and outside are coated. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes to soak in the lovely flavors.
  4. Cook the Mushrooms: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes on each side until tender and caramelized, basting occasionally with leftover marinade to keep them juicy.
  5. Add Cheese and Serve: Sprinkle grated Parmesan or your preferred cheese on top during the last minute of cooking to melt it slightly. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use firm, unblemished Portobello caps for the best results and texture.
  • Avoid washing mushrooms under running water; use a damp cloth to clean instead.
  • Do not overcook; cook until mushrooms are tender but still juicy.
  • Marinate for at least 10 minutes to allow mushrooms to absorb the flavors.
  • Experiment with baking, grilling, or pan-searing to find your preferred cooking method.
