Grilled Portobello Mushrooms with a Neapolitan Herb Balsamic Marinade
The balsamic and the olive oil are packed with awesomely herbaceous flavor, so this marinade requires just a few ingredients. Use them to build a burger or eat them as you would a steak. Marinates 2 portobello mushrooms.
Directions: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic, lemon juice, garlic, dijon and salt. While whisking, drizzle in the olive oil and mix until emulsified.
Place the mushrooms in a large zip-top bag. Add the marinade, seal and gently toss to coat the mushrooms. Allow to marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes; ideally an hour.
Preheat an outdoor grill over high heat. When time to cook, remove the mushrooms from the bag and place on the heated grill. Cook about 5 to 7 minutes a side, turning once.
Serve mushrooms either as you would a steak or make yourself a portobello mushroom burger with all your favorite toppings.
We have many mushrooms at Sigona's - both fresh and dried. The Maitake, also known as Hen-of-the-Woods, is a deliciously nutritious mushroom with a slightly earthy, almost woody flavor. They're loaded with vitamin D and make a nice addition to anything from soup to quesadillas. They're also an excellent meat substitute, if you're in the mood for a meat-free or vegetarian-based meal. We love how John Sigona used them to zhuzh up a pizza for a get together he held over the weekend where we watched "Handsome Stranger," an indie movie made a few years back by our own John Nava!
Organic Maitake mushrooms are on sale this week (Feb. 21, 2025) at $4 off a pound (sale price available for a limited time). Now's your chance to come try them! Visit us in Redwood City and Palo Alto, Calif.
