Ingredients
  

  • 4 Large Portobello mushrooms
  • 1/4 Cup Olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tsp Dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Mushrooms:
    Clean the Portobello mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the gills if desired (this step is optional but can help reduce moisture).
    Tip: Removing the gills can help the mushrooms absorb the marinade better and prevent them from becoming too watery.
  • Make the Marinade:
    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
    Tip: For a smoother marinade, you can blend the ingredients in a food processor.
  • Marinate the Mushrooms:
    Place the mushrooms in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, making sure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor.
    Tip: Turning the mushrooms occasionally helps them marinate evenly.
  • Preheat the Grill:
    Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a gas grill, preheat it for about 10 minutes. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are covered with gray ash.
    Tip: To prevent the mushrooms from sticking, oil the grill grates lightly.
  • Grill the Mushrooms:
    Place the marinated mushrooms on the grill, gill side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, then flip and grill for another 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and have nice grill marks.
    Tip: Use a grill basket or skewers to make flipping easier and prevent the mushrooms from falling apart.
