Ingredients

• 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 2 teaspoons (chopped) Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons (freshly ground) Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Clean the portabella mushroom caps by wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems if still attached and use a spoon to gently scrape out the gills for a more refined presentation, if desired.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring each cap is evenly coated. Let them marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Reserve the leftover marinade for basting during grilling.

Step 6

Place the mushroom caps on the grill, gill-side down, and cook for 4 minutes. Flip them over and brush with the reserved marinade. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

Step 7

Remove the mushrooms from the heat and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a side dish, burger patty alternative, or over a salad for a light and flavorful meal.
