GRILLED PORTOBELLOS INGREDIENTS

• Portobello mushrooms
• Pineapple Juice
• Black Pepper
• Kosher Salt
• Paprika
• Spinach Chimichurri

GRILLING PORTOBELLOS INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the mushrooms

Remove the stems, then using a spoon scoop the ribbed flesh from the mushrooms.

Place portobellos in a large ziplock bag and add the pineapple juice. Close the bag and refrigerate 4-8 hours.

Grill the portobellos

Preheat grill. Brush the grates with an olive oil-stained paper-towel. Brush the mushrooms with oil then grill flat side down for 5 minutes. Flip and grill another 5 minutes. Remove from the grill and place on a plate. Serve with the chimichurri sauce. 

COOKING CONSIDERATIONS

The portobellos are prepared in similar fashion to flank steak recipes, i.e. marinated then grilled over direct heat. Pineapple juice serves as a 1-ingredient marinade and adds a hint of sweetness and some additional tender juiciness without rendering them "spongelike." 

Portobellos are highly filling, thus they make for a great vegan or meatless option for those who want to reduce their meat consumption. Portobello mushrooms are relatively high in protein for a non-meat and have other similar meat characteristics such as texture and mouthfeel. 

During my weekly Sunday meal prep, I often make up a batch of spinach chimichurri sauce. The chimichurri adds a vibrant color from the farmer's market fresh greens and a depth of flavor to this simple but satisfying and elegant dish. The acidity helps to compliment the richness of the portobellos.
