Balsamic Roasted Portobello Mushrooms Recipes

PORTOBELLO RECIPE - ROASTED MUSHROOMS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F. Clean the mushrooms. I like to rinse them with the gill side down, with a gentle water sprinkle on the top. Dry immediately with a paper towel. Many people worry that rinsing the mushrooms will water-log them. But for me, the fact that they grow on poo makes me want to give them a quick rinse. Or if you are cooler than me, just give them a wipe down with a dry paper towel.
• Pop off the stems and scrape the gills off the bottom the caps with a spoon.
• Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Cover a baking sheet with foil and arrange mushrooms in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes.
• Flip mushrooms and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
• Slice mushrooms and drizzle just a bit of balsamic vinegar on top. If you are feeling wild, pour a small dish with additional vinegar for dipping.
• Enjoy!

GRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS WITH BALSAMIC

Steps:

• Preheat the grill. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, toss the garlic cloves with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and some salt. Wrap the garlic cloves in tinfoil and place on the tray in the center of the oven. Cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 20 to 25 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic with 3/4 cup of the olive oil and the mustard.
• In a medium bowl, toss the mushrooms in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt. Place them, stem-side up, on the hottest part of the grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, you may see liquid starting to emerge from the stem area. Flip to the other side and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer them to a tray and place in the center of the oven. Cook until they are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, an additional 12 to 15 minutes. Season them lightly with salt.
• Remove the garlic from the oven. Squeeze the garlic pulp out from their skins and whisk it vigorously into the dressing. Arrange the mushrooms on a serving platter and top with the dressing. Serve immediately.

ROASTED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside.
• Prepare the mushrooms for roasting: Fill a small bowl with water. Wet a kitchen sponge (or a sheet of paper towel) in the bowl and squeeze out any excess water. Gently wipe the large mushroom caps to remove any dirt and debris.
• Remove the gills and the stem: Turn the mushrooms upside down and place one in the palm of your hand. Using a paring knife, slice off the mushroom's inner edges while slowly rotating its cap. Then, use a small spoon to gently scrape the mushroom's gills. Be careful not to dig too deep into the flesh of the mushroom. Continue working around the mushroom until you remove all of the gills. Remove the stem by gently twisting it from the bottom. Continue with the remaining mushrooms.
• Brush with oil and season: Place the portobello mushrooms on the parchment-lined sheet. Lightly brush each mushroom with approximately ½ teaspoon olive oil and season them with ¼ teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper on both sides. If you do not have a brush, you can also use a vegetable oil cooking spray to lightly coat them with oil.
• Roast in the oven: Arrange the mushrooms on the baking sheet with the gills side facing down. Bake them in the oven for 10 minutes, flip them, and then bake them for another 5-7 minutes.
• Serve while they are still warm.
