Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 teaspoons (chopped) Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons (freshly ground) Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems if still attached and use a spoon to gently scrape out the gills for a more refined presentation, if desired.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring each cap is evenly coated. Let them marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Reserve the leftover marinade for basting during grilling.
Place the mushroom caps on the grill, gill-side down, and cook for 4 minutes. Flip them over and brush with the reserved marinade. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Remove the mushrooms from the heat and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately as a side dish, burger patty alternative, or over a salad for a light and flavorful meal.
