Marinated Portobello Mushrooms

Created by Chef Peter Schonman of Biaggi's

Biaggi’s Ristorante Italiano has the delightful Peter Schonman as their very creative corporate chef, and he shares one of his favorite dishes with us. The big, 'meaty' mushrooms featured here can be served as an entrée or a delicious side dish.

Ingredients

• 4 large Portobello mushroom caps, 5” to 6” in diameter
• 2/3 cup Olive oil
• 1 large Lemon, juiced
• 6 cloves Garlic, minced
• ½ tsp Diamond Crystal^® kosher salt
• ½ tsp Black pepper
• Garnish, as needed Diamond Crystal^® kosher salt

Directions

1. Remove stems from the mushroom caps. Wipe excess dirt off the caps. Do not wash.
2. Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, Diamond Crystal^® kosher salt, and pepper in a bowl, then pour mixture into a large zip-lock plastic bag.
3. Add the mushroom caps.
4. Toss gently several times to coat the mushrooms.
5. Marinate the mushrooms for 1 hour, turning the bag over and tossing gently every 15 to 20 minutes.
6. Transfer all the ingredients to a large piece of aluminum foil, 24" to 26" long. Seal the foil around the mushrooms and place on a medium-hot grill for 10 to 14 minutes.
7. Open the foil carefully, and remove the mushrooms from the foil, placing directly onto the metal grates of the grill, cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes per side.
8. Remove from grill and sprinkle each mushroom cap with additional kosher salt. Serve hot.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve as a meatless entrée with mashed potatoes, sautéed spinach and a dollop of fresh pesto sauce.
• Broil or bake marinated mushrooms in an oven if grilling is not a suitable option.
• Top mushrooms with sliced meats such as grilled chicken, if a protein is desired.
• Pairing these mushrooms with a pinot Grigio or an Italian Barbera are ideal wine choices.
• These delicious mushrooms can be prepared in your oven as well. Bake in 375º oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until softened and cooked through. Sprinkle with additional Diamond Crystal^® kosher salt and serve hot.
