Grilled Portobello Mushrooms

Recipe View Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently clean the portobello mushroom caps, removing any excess dirt. Reserve the stems for another culinary adventure, such as vegetable stock or a mushroom duxelles. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Craft the Balsamic Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the canola oil, balsamic vinegar, finely chopped onion, and minced garlic. This vibrant mixture will infuse the mushrooms with flavor. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Marinate the Mushrooms: Place the mushroom caps, gill-side up, in a shallow dish. Generously pour the balsamic marinade over the caps, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow the mushrooms to marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor. (Marinating time: 1-4 hours)

Recipe View Grill to Perfection: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grate to prevent sticking. Place the marinated mushroom caps on the hot grill, gill-side down. Grill for approximately 5-8 minutes per side, or until the mushrooms are tender and beautifully caramelized, with enticing grill marks. (Grilling time: 10-16 minutes)

Recipe View Serve and Savor: Remove the grilled portobello mushrooms from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them hot off the grill as a flavorful side dish, or nestle them in a bun with your favorite toppings for a satisfying vegetarian meal.
