Ingredients

  • 4 large mushrooms, Portobello
  • 1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar
  • 1/8 - 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp pepper, ground
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions

  1. In a plastic ziplock bag or similar container, combine the Balsamic, oil, garlic and spices.
  2. Decide whether to remove the mushroom gills.
  3. If removing the gills, use a spoon to gently scrape the hills from the underside of the mushrooms. Remove the stems. ( These are great to reserve and mince into stuffing if making stuffed mushrooms - it makes more room for stuffing mix and retain flavours)
  4. Place mushrooms in marinade, remove as much air from container as possible. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat pan or barbeque and grill mushrooms until soft and tender, approximately 5 minutes each side. (I like mine a little charred on the edges.)
  6. Slice into thick strips and serve as you would steak.

Notes

  • garlic haters, fear not. I have made this without garlic and it was still great.
