Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Freshly Minced Garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Tamari low sodium soy sauce alternative
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/8 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 large Portobello Mushrooms wiped clean, stems trimmed, and gills scraped out with a spoon

Equipment

  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. Start by whisking together the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, tamari, balsamic vinegar, ground black pepper, and fresh lemon juice in a bowl.
  2. Ensure all ingredients blend seamlessly. This marinade will work its magic, adding flavor and tenderness to your portobello caps.
  3. Take the portobello mushrooms and submerge them in the marinade. Make sure they’re well coated. Allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes. I recommend letting them marinate longer if you can. An hour works wonders, allowing all those flavors to seep in!
  4. While your mushrooms are marinating, fire up the grill. Aim for medium heat, around 350°F to 400°F. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are glowing and have a coating of ash.
  5. Remove the mushrooms from the marinade and place them gill-side down on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until you see nice grill marks.
  6. Flip the mushrooms, and grill for an additional 3-5 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when they’re tender and juicy.
  7. Once grilled to perfection, remove the mushrooms from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Slice them up or serve them whole on a plate. You can drizzle any leftover marinade over them before serving.

Notes

  • Don’t Skip the Marinade: The longer you let the mushrooms soak, the more flavor they’ll absorb.
  • Adjust the Cooking Time: Depending on the grill’s heat, you may need to adjust the cooking time to prevent burning.
  • Clean Your Grill: A clean grill helps prevent sticking. Make sure to oil the grates before placing the mushrooms.
  • Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add other herbs like thyme or rosemary for added depth.
  • Serve Warm or Cold: These mushrooms are delicious hot off the grill but can be enjoyed cold in salads as well.
