Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portobello mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Clean the portobello mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth and remove the stems. If desired, you can also scrape out the gills with a spoon for a less earthy flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the portobello mushroom caps in a shallow dish or zip-lock bag. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, making sure they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Once the grill is heated, place the marinated mushrooms on the grill, cap side down. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Remove the grilled mushrooms from the heat and drizzle them with lemon juice.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a main dish or as a savory side to your favorite Mediterranean-inspired meal.
