INGREDIENTS
- 6 medium portobello mushrooms (1 pound total)
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons balsamic, wine, or herbed vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the broiler or prepare a charcoal grill, spraying the
rack with non-stick pan spray. Clean the mushrooms well and cut off
the tough bottoms of the stems. Combine the olive oil, vinegar, and
garlic in a small bowl. Brush all surfaces of the mushrooms with the
mixture. Allow to marinate at least 20 minutes. Put the mushrooms on
the prepared broiler pan or grill, stem sides up. Broil or grill
about 4 inches from the heat source until the mushrooms are tender,
about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
