Grilled PORTOBELLOS

Portobellos are “meaty” and delicious. They lend themselves well to grilling and can be served on a bed of grains with mashed potatoes or on whole-grain buns with all the trimmings. Plus, they don’t contain any of the carcinogens that are formed while cooking meat. Portobello mushrooms can serve as a great source of folate, selenium, and zinc.


Directions

Makes 4 servings

4 large portobello mushrooms
2 tablespoons red wine or water
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Clean mushrooms, trimming stems flush with bottom of caps.

Mix wine or water, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and oregano in a large skillet. Heat until mixture begins to bubble, then add mushrooms, top side down. Reduce to medium heat, cover and cook 3 minutes. If the pan becomes dry, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water. Turn mushrooms and cook second side until tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.
