PAN GRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS WITH HERB INFUSED MARINADE

Steps:

• Remove stems from mushrooms, and lightly wipe tops with a damp paper towel.
• In a large bowl, combine vinegar, soy sauce, water, rosemary, thyme and oregano. Stir to mix. Add mushrooms and make sure each one is covered by marinade. You may need to move them around. Marinate for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight in the fridge.
• When ready to cook, add some of the oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Remove mushrooms from marinade(but do not discard marinade). Put as many mushrooms as you can fit in pan, tops down. They will shrink as they cook. Cook 3-5 minutes, until lightly browned. Turn over and cook 3-5 minutes more.
• Remove fresh herb sprigs from marinade, and pour marinade into pan, reserving some for additional batches of mushrooms.
• Cover and cook 5-7 minutes. Flip mushrooms, cover and cook 5-7 minutes longer. When fork tender, remove from pan, and repeat with remaining nmushrooms.
• To serve the mushrooms hot, simply use myltiple pans on the stove at once.
• Serve 2 mushrooms per person.

MARINATED AND GRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat grill or grill pan.
• Clean mushrooms and lay with gills up in a shallow baking pan. In a bowl combine olive oil, butter, red pepper flakes, garlic, wine and zest. Whisk to combine and pour over mushrooms. Marinate mushrooms at room temperature for 20 minutes, turning once. Pat mushrooms dry and place gill side up in grill pan. Grill slowly for about 20 minutes, then turn and grill for about 5 to 10 minutes more. Slice and serve with polenta. Garnish with chopped parsley.

PORTABELLA MUSHROOM, ONION AND SAGE SPREAD

Steps:

• Chop mushrooms, onion and garlic. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the mushrooms, onions and garlic. Stirring occasionally, cook for about 2 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium low heat. Add cooking sherry. Simmer about 25-30 minutes, until the mushrooms are very soft and most of the liquid is gone.
• Put into a food processor. Add the sage, salt and corn syrup. Pulse until coarsely chopped, not pureed.
• If there is too much liquid, you can return it to the skillet, over medium low until it reaches desired consistency.
• Cover & refreigerate (I can't ever wait long enough!) Serve at room temperature with crackers.

CHARMOON'S AWARD WINNING GRILLED PORTOBELLOS

Steps:

• Prepare a fire for grilling, if using coals, or set up a gas grill.
• Clean the portabello mushrooms: cut off and discard the dirty stalk bottoms before turning the mushroom upside-down, to prevent loose dirt from falling onto the gills. Then, invert the mushroom (cap down), and remove the remaining stalk by cutting off the base of the cap. Set aside for later use.
• With a cleaning brush, remove any loose dirt from the cap, and the underside. For a final cleaning, wipe the cap with a moistened towel. Lay the caps, gills down, on a cutting board. Cut through the caps to make cross section slices about 1/3 inch thick. Pile slices on a plate or tray.
• Vigorously shake the marinade in the jar, then pour into a large bowl.
• Brush the grill lightly with olive oil.
• With tongs, grab 1 1/2 mushrooms worth of mushroom slices, and immerse briefly into the bowl of marinade. Loosen the tongs somewhat and quickly stir/swish the mushrooms around, to let all surfaces of the mushroom get coated. Then immediately pull the slices out, allow to drip-drain for a moment over the bowl, and spread, cut surfaces down, onto the grill.
• Note: it is very important to not let the mushrooms sit too long in the marinade?the gills will get soggy, and the end result will be ruined. Grill the mushrooms until well browned on one side. Baste the upper sides with the marinade, and turn. Cook until second side is well grilled. (Total cooking time is 4 to 8 minutes, depending on fire temperature, the mushroom slice-thickness, and desired doneness.)
• Remove mushrooms from the grill onto serving plate. Repeat with the remaining mushroom slices. Cool briefly, and enjoy!
• Mix all the liquids into a sauce pan, and bring to a high simmer. While heating, coarsely chop the garlic and ginger, and stir into the heating liquid. Cook at a high simmer, uncovered, for a bout 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and allow to cool. Pour into a glass jar, seal with a tight lid, and refrigerate overnight. (Marinade can be used immediately, but flavors will improve overnight).
