Portobello Mushroom Saute Recipes

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SAUTE

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, saute the mushrooms, peppers and onion in oil until tender. Reduce heat to medium-low; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with cheese, tomato and olives; cover and cook for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

GRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a shallow baking dish, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, rosemary, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne. Taste and adjust seasonings if you like. Add the mushrooms and turn to coat. Let sit for 5 minutes on one side, then flip and let sit 5 additional minutes. While the mushrooms marinate, prep the grill and anything you'd like to serve with them. You can let them sit for up to 30 minutes, so feel free to take your time-the longer they sit, the more intense the flavor will be.
• Heat a grill or a large skillet over medium heat (about 350 to 400 degrees F). Brush the grill with oil to prevent sticking. Remove the mushrooms from the bowl, shaking off any excess marinade and reserving the marinade for basting. Cook on each side for 3-4 minutes, or until caramelized and deep golden brown. Brush the remaining marinade over the mushrooms several times as they cook.
• To serve, top the portobello mushrooms with the avocado sauce or any topping you like.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms; cook and stir until tender. Stir in the wine, and simmer until the liquid has reduced by 1/2. Stir in cream, and simmer again until the sauce becomes a thick gravy. Stir in the basil just before serving.

PASTA WITH PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Trim hard parts from mushrooms and discard. Rinse mushrooms quickly to remove grit; cut caps into slices and stems into small chunks. Combine in a medium skillet with 1 clove garlic (crushed and peeled), thyme, olive oil and some salt and pepper. Cook over sufficiently low heat so that mixture bubbles but mushrooms do not brown. Continue to cook, stirring infrequently, until they are quite shrunken in size and appear firm, 30 to 45 minutes. (At this point, you can pause for several hours before resuming cooking.) If you are using porcinis, soak them in hot water to cover for a few minutes so that they soften.
• Set a large pot of water to boil for pasta and salt it. Mince remaining garlic. Turn heat under oil to medium, and add garlic to the portobellos along with the drained porcinis. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic begins to color. Add tomatoes and raise heat to medium high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they break up and become saucy, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta until it is tender but not mushy. Taste sauce and adjust its seasoning. When pasta is done, drain it, toss with sauce, top with Parmesan, and serve.

BROILED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS WITH SAUTEED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Mix balsamic vinegar, ¼ cup olive oil, and thyme together in a measuring cup. Pour lemon juice through a strainer (to keep seeds out) into the marinade. Whisk the marinade until the olive oil and balsamic vinegar are one even mixture.
• Place mushroom caps in a glass dish that can be used for marinating. Pour the balsamic marinade over them, cover the dish, and let them sit for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a metal baking dish with foil.
• Transfer mushrooms to the prepared baking dish, gills up, and cover with some of the marinade and salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
• While mushrooms bake, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute zucchini and bell pepper in the hot oil for 10 minutes. Add tomato, artichoke hearts, garlic, and basil; saute for 5 minutes more. Turn the heat off and mix in panko bread crumbs and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
• Once the mushrooms are done baking, take them out of the oven and add the sauteed mixture on top. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Turn on the oven's broiler.
• Broil with the oven door open until Parmesan cheese on top is bubbly, about 2 minutes. Take the pan out and use a spatula to place the mushrooms onto a serving plate with sauteed vegetables. Serve immediately.

GREEN BEANS AND PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SAUTE

Steps:

• Simmer green beans in salted boiling water 5 minutes. Drain green beans and return skillet to moderate heat. Add oil and butter to the pan. Add onions and saute 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Saute mushrooms 3 to 5 minutes with onions, add green beans back to the pan. Heat green beans through and add sherry. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer green beans and mushrooms to a serving plate.
