Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 portobello mushrooms
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Clean the portobello mushrooms and remove the stems. Drizzle the gill sides with the olive oil and use your hands to rub all over the mushrooms, including the bottoms. Then drizzle the gill sides with balsamic vinegar, sprinkle with kosher salt, and add several grinds of black pepper.
  • Place the mushrooms directly on the grill grates gill side up and grill 10 to 14 minutes until tender and juicy. Liquid will pool in the cap. Flip the mushrooms (this drains the liquid into the grates) and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until browned.

MUSHROOMS A LA GRECQUE



Mushrooms a La Grecque image

A classic mushroom dish which can be served as one of several mezze dishes, or served with crusty rolls or pita bread and a favourite dip for lunch. It's served cold, and will appeal to mushroom lovers! I've adapted it from a recipe in 'Mediteranean Kitchen', and I'm posting it for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tomatoes, home-grown rather than supermarket variety
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup wine
1/2 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
500 g button mushrooms
2 teaspoons lemon juice
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 pinch brown sugar, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Cut a cross on the base of the tomatoes, immerse them in boiling water for 20-30 seconds, then plunge them into cold water; drain and peel the skin away from the cross and, discarding the juice the and seeds (see notes below), finely chop the tomatoes.
  • Place the tomatoes, oil, wine, onion, garlic, bay leaf, thyme and basil to a non-aluminium pan, add about 1 cup of water and bring to the boil; then cover and simmer for 10 minutes; then uncover the pan, add the mushrooms and simmer for a further 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Lift out the mushroom with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving dish.
  • Boil the cooking liquid rapidly until about 1 cup remains, remove the bay leaf, add the lemon juice and season with salt, pepper and sugar, to taste.
  • Pour the liquid over the mushrooms, and leave the mushrooms to cool.
  • Serve the mushrooms cold, sprinkled with the chopped parsley and the walnuts.
  • Notes: Rather than wasting such juices or vegetable peelings, I add them to my container of ingredients for when I next make my Vegetable Stock Recipe #135453.

GRILLED MUSHROOMS IN FOIL PACKETS



Grilled Mushrooms in Foil Packets image

If you like to grill foods at a picnic, here's a great vegetarian option. Prepare these packets at home, then pack them, ready to grill, in your picnic basket. The recipe is inspired by one in Patricia Wells's cookbook "Vegetable Harvest." You can make this with cultivated or wild mushrooms.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course, side dish

Time 25m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound large mushrooms (regular, portobello, wild, oyster or a combination), cleaned, trimmed and sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme, mint, sage, rosemary or marjoram
2 to 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced or chopped
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus additional for brushing foil

Steps:

  • Cut four 12-by-12-inch squares of heavy aluminum foil, or eight squares of regular aluminum foil (stack two sheets each of the lighter foil to make four squares).
  • In a large bowl, combine the mushrooms, herbs, garlic, salt and pepper, and olive oil. Use a large spoon to blend the ingredients.
  • Brush the dull side of the aluminum squares with olive oil, and divide the mushrooms among the four squares. Fold the squares over and crimp the edges together to form well-sealed packets. Place on a hot grill, and grill 20 to 25 minutes. Remove one packet from the grill, and place on a plate. Carefully open it to check for doneness. The mushrooms should be tender and juicy. Either transfer to plates or bowls (there will be lots of juice), or cut the packets and eat the mushrooms directly from them. Have lots of crusty bread on hand to sop up the juices.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Mushrooms: Opt for firm, dry, and unblemished mushrooms. Avoid slimy or bruised ones.
  • Clean Mushrooms Properly: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe off any dirt or debris from the mushrooms. Avoid rinsing them under running water, as this can absorb excess moisture.
  • Slice Mushrooms Evenly: Cut the mushrooms into uniform slices or pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Use Fresh Herbs and Seasonings: Incorporate fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or rosemary to enhance the flavor of the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook Mushrooms Over Medium Heat: High heat can cause mushrooms to release too much moisture and become rubbery. Instead, cook them over medium heat to allow them to caramelize and develop a rich flavor.
  • Don't Overcook Mushrooms: Overcooked mushrooms can become tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are tender but still retain a slight bite.
