Grilled Portobello Mushrooms
Get ready to impress your taste buds with these marinated and grilled portobello mushrooms. They’re so juicy and flavorful, you’ll forget they’re vegetables (okay, technically they’re fungi, but who’s counting?).
Ingredients:
- 4 large portobello mushrooms
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
- First, let’s clean our mushrooms! Gently wipe them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt (no need to go scrubbing like you’re preparing for a science fair).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. This marinade is where the magic happens!
- Place the mushrooms in a shallow dish or a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure those mushrooms get cozy with the marinade—give them a little massage if you feel inclined.
- Cover the dish (or seal the bag) and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Feel free to marinate them overnight if you want to take that flavor to a whole new level.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, because we want those mushrooms sizzling! When you hear that sound, it’s like music to a cook’s ears.
- Remove the mushrooms from the marinade and place them on the grill, gill-side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side. You’ll want them tender and juicy, but not so soft that they fall apart.
- Once done, take the mushrooms off the grill and garnish them with fresh parsley. Optional, but let’s be honest, it makes everything look fancy!
Voilà! You now have a plate of delectable Grilled Portobello Mushrooms to serve up at your next gathering. Celebrate the mighty mushroom and enjoy this fabulous dish!
