Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Portobello mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by cleaning the Portobello mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Carefully remove the stems and set them aside. Use a small spoon to gently scrape out the black gills under the caps to prevent them from turning bitter when grilled.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Place the Portobello mushroom caps in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow baking dish. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15-20 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for more intense flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan on the stovetop, heat the pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting if desired.
Place the mushrooms on the grill gill side up. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side or until tender and slightly charred. While grilling, you can baste the mushrooms with the reserved marinade for extra flavor.
Once grilled to your preference, remove the mushrooms from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled Portobello mushrooms as a side dish, or use them as a flavorful, low-carb burger bun alternative or as a hearty base for a vegetarian meal.
