Grilled portobello mushrooms are one of my all-time favorite dishes. The meaty texture and earthy flavor of portobello mushrooms make them a perfect candidate for grilling. Whether you’re a vegetarian looking for a satisfying main course or a meat lover searching for a flavorful side dish, grilled portobello mushrooms are sure to impress.
Ingredients:
- 4 large portobello mushrooms
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Gently clean the portobello mushrooms using a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Place the mushrooms in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the mushrooms on the grill, gill side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until tender.
- While grilling, baste the mushrooms with the remaining marinade to enhance the flavor.
- Once done, remove the mushrooms from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Grilled portobello mushrooms can be served in various ways. You can enjoy them as a standalone dish, slice them and add to salads, or even use them as a burger patty alternative. I love to serve them with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a drizzle of balsamic glaze for an extra touch of flavor.
If you’re a fan of smoky flavors, you can try adding a bit of smoked paprika or liquid smoke to the marinade. The possibilities are endless when it comes to customizing this recipe to suit your preferences.
Conclusion:
Grilled portobello mushrooms are a versatile and delicious option for anyone looking to add more plant-based dishes to their meals. I hope you enjoy trying out this recipe as much as I do!
