Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Gently clean the portabella mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Remove the stems, and if desired, scrape out the gills with a spoon for a cleaner presentation and milder flavor.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, soy sauce, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the mushrooms in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for 20–30 minutes at room temperature, flipping occasionally to evenly distribute the flavors.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350-400°F) and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the mushrooms gill-side down on the grill. Cook for 4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes on the other side, or until tender and grill marks appear.
Remove from the grill and serve immediately as a standalone dish, in a salad, or as a burger substitute.
