Ingredients
- 4 large Portobello mushrooms, stems removed
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Place the Portobello mushrooms in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring they are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Once the grill is hot, place the mushrooms gill-side down on the grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
- Remove from the grill and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately, with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
Tips & Variations:
- Herb Swap: Feel free to swap dried thyme for fresh rosemary or oregano for a different flavor profile.
- Cheesy Delight: For a cheesy twist, sprinkle some grated Parmesan or mozzarella over the mushrooms during the last minute of grilling.
- Beginner’s Tip: If you’re new to grilling, using a grill basket can help prevent the mushrooms from sticking and make flipping easier.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
Pairings: These grilled Portobello mushrooms pair beautifully with a fresh garden salad, a side of couscous, or a refreshing glass of iced tea or lemonade.
