Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Portabella mushroom caps
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
1. Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping the tops with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the gills underneath the caps if desired.
2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Brush the marinade generously over both sides of each portabella mushroom cap. Let the mushrooms marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
5. Place the marinated portabella mushroom caps on the grill, gill side down. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the mushrooms are tender and have developed nice grill marks.
6. Remove the grilled portabella mushrooms from the heat and let them rest for a minute. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired before serving.
7. Serve the Grilled Portabella with Thyme Garlic hot as a side dish, or use them as a hearty vegetarian burger patty replacement.
