4 large portobello mushroom caps
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling, plus 1/4 cup

  • Gather your ingredients.
  • For the fries: Line a baking sheet with fries and bake 25 minutes to very crispy.
  • Stem and gill (scrape underside of caps with teaspoon) the mushrooms and wipe with damp towel to remove grit. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in large skillet over medium-high heat and when it foams add the mushrooms. Brown well until meaty in fragrance and well browned.
  • Halve, peel and thinly slice onions and peel garlic. In a second large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter then add the onions and season with salt, white pepper and bay leaf. Cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat up to medium-high to high, add about 3/4 cup water and let it absorb completely. Then lower heat to low and remove bay leaf.
  • While onions cook, grate or chop the garlic. Add to mushrooms along with thyme, salt, black pepper, sherry, Marsala or wine, Worcestershire and soy sauce. Reduce heat to low.
  • For the cheese sauce: In a sauce pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour, add milk and while it thickens grate provolone. Add it and the cheddar in small handfuls to sauce.
  • Top the fries with mushrooms, sweet, soft onions, cheese sauce, chopped giardiniera and/or cherry pepper rings and serve. OR layer slices of provolone on a roll with mushrooms, onions and chopped giardiniera.

Tips:

  • Choose large, firm portobello mushrooms for best results.
  • Slice the mushrooms evenly so they cook evenly.
  • Coat the mushrooms in a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper before baking to enhance their flavor.
  • Bake the mushrooms at a high temperature (450°F) for a crispy exterior and tender interior.
  • Keep an eye on the mushrooms while they're baking to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the fries immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
