Ingredients
- 4 portobello mushrooms
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil, plus more if needed
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Generous pinch of salt
- Dash of pepper
Instructions
- Clean portobello mushrooms with a damp cloth. Remove stems using your fingers or a knife. If you'd like, use a spoon to remove the dark brown gills from underneath the mushroom. They don't affect the flavor at all, but they do release dark brown liquid while they cook.
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil (or avocado oil), red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried parsley, dried basil, dried oregano, a generous pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. (For the garlic, I like to use a garlic press or zester style grater, so that it's almost paste-like & easy to combine with the other ingredients.)
- Add the mushroom caps to the mixing bowl. Use your hands to make sure that each cap gets covered front & back with the marinade. If your mushroom caps are especially large, you can add more oil if needed to make sure it's all evenly dispersed.
- Put the bowl with mushrooms in the refrigerator, and let them soak in the marinade for 30 minutes to an hour. (If your refrigerator isn't large enough to hold a mixing bowl, the mushrooms can go into a freezer bag instead to marinate.)
- Bring a grill, fire pit with grate, or grill pan to a medium high heat. (For a gas grill, I aim for about 500 degrees.)
- Put the marinated mushroom caps on the grill, grate, or grill pan. Cook for about 4 or 5 minutes on each side & then flip. (Don't flip until the mushrooms have nice grill marks.) Remove from heat & serve.
