Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for greasing grill pan
4 large portobello mushrooms (about 5 inches in diameter), stemmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 small to medium sized vine ripened tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat).

GRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS & SHALLOTS WITH ROSEMARY-DIJON



Grilled Portobello Mushrooms & Shallots With Rosemary-Dijon image

These can easily become the star attraction to your next grilled meal! For the grilling itself, build a moderate, medium-heat fire. The veggies come out tender and full of smoky flavor and can be served warm or at room temp. If grill marks do not appear after 5 minutes, adjust either the heat level or the position on the grill. I have made these with chunks of red onion with equally good results. These have great flavor! Interesting factoid: Once the mushroom reaches 4 to 6" in diameter, it is called a Portobello rather than a Portabella. Adapted from Cook's Illustrated magazine, May, 2009. Hope you enjoy.
