Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
1. Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Carefully remove the stems and scrape out the gills with a spoon if desired (optional for a smoother taste).
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, honey or maple syrup, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
3. Place the mushrooms in a large, shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors; you can let them marinate up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for a more robust taste.
4. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
5. Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, letting the excess drip off before placing them on the grill. Reserve the remaining marinade for later use.
6. Grill the mushrooms for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are tender and have developed grill marks. Baste with the reserved marinade occasionally for added flavor.
7. Serve the grilled mushrooms warm as a side dish, burger patty substitute, or atop a salad. Garnish as desired and enjoy!
